Board approves van purchase after reviewing seat configuration and delivery timing

Board members reviewed seating configurations, accessibility and equipment storage needs for a proposed district van. Members debated whether to prioritize additional passenger seats or leave the rear area open for equipment; staff noted an all‑wheel‑drive model with cameras and a seating layout proposed by a staff member (George had previously reviewed the vehicle).

After discussion of delivery timing (months out, possibly after January), Speaker 2 moved to approve the purchase and the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Staff will proceed with order placement and follow up on delivery scheduling.
