June 27th Meeting -- Get on the Bus(es) -- Comin' Due

Supt. Krause noted at the June Board Meeting that the buses that were leased (from the Feb. meeting) arrive on July 6th, and the bill needs to be paid on delivery.

Board member Steve Knar asked if the bus lease contract was competitively bid. Dr. Krause answered that the district contracted with the leasing company for a low price. Board member Pat Hughes remarked that the district did a study two years ago, and found that leasing the buses was a cheaper option that buying them. Dr. Krause added that we take a year's depreciation on the buses.

The Board approved the payment of the lease bill on delivery by a unanimous vote (Gerry Blohm absent).
