ITEM NUMBER
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: February 18, 1992
AGENDA ITEM: Request from School Board to Purchase Special
Education Bus
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND: On November 19, 1991, staff presented the year end
balances to the Board. The County Schools reported a year end
surplus of $592,429. Of this amount, $12,500 was appropriated for
a stoplight at Northside High School and Peters Creek Road. The
remaining $579,929 was set aside to cover the anticipated shortfall
for the 1991-1992 fiscal year.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Before the Schools decided to save their
surplus from 1990-1991 for the current year shortfall, they had
already requested bids for the purchase of school buses. The
School Transportation department has an urgent need for one new
Special Education bus with a chairlift. The cost of this one bus
is $46,000. The Schools currently have $31,500 in the School Bus
Fund. At this time, they would like to appropriate $14,500 of the
1990-1991 year end surplus for the purchase of this Special
Education bus.
FISCAL IMPACT: After this appropriation, the Schools will still
have $565,429 to cover the projected 1991-1992 deficit. At this
time, the anticipated shortfall is $500,000.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends appropriating $14,500 from
the 1990-1991 year end school surplus for the purchase of a Special
Education bus with a chairlift.
