The board members received copies of the <br />proposed budget and the request for a new handi-bus for 2003. Marianne reported that <br />during the first nine months that mileage on the buses has increased by 9,000 over last <br />year. She stated the riders in Wood River, Cairo and Doniphan have increased. The <br />City of Grand Island is growing that that also makes a difference. They have decreased <br />the cab tickets from 15,000 to 12,000 because they have not sold as many. Right now <br />they are only selling 41 % of what is available. The buses can transport wheelchairs and <br />cabs cannot. Marianne stated that they do not want to deny anyone a ride. <br /> <br />Stacey Ruzicka verified that the budget amount would be $49,881.60 and the request for <br />the new handi bus would be $14,025.00. They did not receive a bus last year so the <br />budgeted dollars can be carried over. <br /> <br />Marianne stated that the cost of fuel is hard to estimate and maintenance is higher <br />because they are driving more miles, some of the buses are also getting old. Their <br />maintenance it at 81 % right now. They will also need to hire a full time driver and pay <br />the heal insurance. <br /> <br />Jeffries made a motion and Arnold seconded to approve the budget and approve <br />Resolution #02-0029 for the application for funds. Arnold, Eriksen, Hartman, Humiston, <br />Jeffries, Lancaster and Logan all voted yes and none voted no. Motion carried. <br /> <br />8 <br />
