Purpose

AUTHORIZE THE ADRC TO PURCHASE A REAR-ENTRY HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE VAN FOR ITS TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM

Background

In the 2017 budget, the ADRC budgeted for the purchase of a rear entry handicapped accessible van to assist in our transportation program, which transports the disabled and elderly to various locations.  Initially, it was planned to use $7,000 from the ADRC DOT trust fund, which holds DOT funding remaining at the end of a fiscal year, or from the sale of DOT purchased vehicles, and from a 5310 grant. 

 

The grant funding from the 5310 grant was not awarded for the vehicle; however the ADRC had $53,514.00 of funding from our 85.21 grant remaining and it was placed in our DOT trust fund, bringing the total of the fund to $60,418.58.    Thus, the purchase of the handicapped accessible vehicle will be purchased with DOT funds; no levy dollars will be utilized.

Resolution Body

WHEREAS, the ADRC provides needed transportation to the elderly and disabled through DOT 85.21 and 5310 grant funds, and,

 

 

            WHEREAS, it is more cost efficient to transport an elderly and/or disabled client who is not ambulatory in a van rather than one of the ADRC busses, and

 

WHEREAS, the ADRC had budgeted for purchase of a handicapped accessible van to be purchased in 2017, and

 

WHEREAS, funding from DOT to purchase the van is in the ADRC’s DOT trust fund, and

            NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors,

met in regular session, that the Board supports the purchase of the handicapped accessible van,

 

 

            BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board supports the resolution with the understanding that any funding for said vehicle is not paid for out of levy funding, but is paid for out of DOT funding.
