He said on vehicles, and things with short useful lives, <br /> maturities are dated to match those useful items. He said borrowing packages are set up so <br /> the maturity dates of the loans match the usefulness life of the assets. <br /> Travis Myren said the Sheriff's office gets a lump sum and determines the vehicles that <br /> need replacing. He said the age of the patrol fleet was such that almost all of the funds are <br /> going to replace squad cars that are regularly on patrol. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked if the size of the buses being replaced could be identified. <br /> Theo Letman, Transit Director, said the buses are 22-26 feet long. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked if these are the busses used for the Circulator route. <br /> Theo Letman said yes. <br /> Chair Price referred to page 12 of the CIP, which says $40,000 is recommended for <br /> further electrification of the fleet. She said this amount will not buy much, and asked if these <br /> funds are for a charging station. <br /> Steve Arndt confirmed the money is for electric charging stations. <br /> Commissioner Fowler asked if any of the vehicle replacements would be with electric <br /> vehicles. <br /> Theo Letman said the technology has not kept up with the industry to supply transit <br /> vehicles with electrification. He said they are trying to get that technology, but it is currently <br /> only available for larger vehicles rather than the smaller vehicles they utilize more. <br /> Travis Myren resumed the PowerPoint presentation: <br /> FY2021-22 Recommended County Projects <br /> Vehicle Replacements-$1,333,341{p.53) <br /> -Adminislralive Vehicles <br /> AM3 Veniele Rerlanemenls(2) 573000 <br /> EAPR Vehlele Renucement f2] 570000 <br /> Fetal Aeminiyfrative 5143,000 <br /> ORnNCEcouNTr <br /> Travis Myren asked if any of these vehicles are electric. <br /> Theo Letman said no, these are crew cab pickup trucks. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton asked the price of an electric charging station. <br />
