He said part of the contract states the chassis must be turned in or purchased 11 <br />back. He said the revenue is negligible. 12 <br />Commissioner Dorosin said the County should be looking at electric cars going forward. 13 <br />Brennen Bouma, Sustainability Coordinator, said staff is expecting to hear in the next 14 <br />three weeks about a state grant, which, if awarded, would include the purchase of the County’s 15 <br />first electrical vehicle. He said this vehicle would be entered into the car share program, which 16 <br />is open to all County staff. He said the grant will pay 80% of the difference in the lease costs, 17 <br />which are considerably higher than regular vehicles. 18 <br />Travis Myren resumed the PowerPoint presentation: 19 <br /> 20 <br />• Community Relations – page 96 21 <br />• Total expenditure budget - $288,826 22 <br />– Increase of $15,387 Compared to FY2018-19 Budget 23 <br />• Advertising in News of Orange - $1,000 24 <br />• Website Maintenance and Video Production - $3,000 25 <br />• Census Outreach - $1,500 26 <br /> 27 <br />Commissioner Price asked if staff advertises in the News and Observer. 28 <br />Todd McGee said for some things, but the News of Orange is the best way to reach the 29 <br />northern part of the County, which is typically the hardest portion of the County to reach. 30
