Directors/Coordinators report- Lee Hazelbaker
614
on its way back from repair blew an outside tire and caused some damage. The bus was then returned to shop.
Billy Dove and his crew went above and beyond in replacing signs and distributing
brochures.
Large maps should be out this week.
Sign changes are up to the city and Lee is working with them on that.
We have a plan in place to help protect the late night crew. Rosco
camera System with 3 cameras. I forward, 1 door and 1 rear of bus (two physical units). This system does more than our current system. If there is an incidence (G-force or button) it
sets aside the event. This system is reviewed in house vs. being reviewed by an independent party. Cost is approx. $100/month.
Galavan is out to 4 full time drivers, looking at increasing
if possible.
Fire dept. would like one of our old Galavan’s to train with (This is a van that will no longer be used). Vicky York made a motion to give to the City Fire dept., second
by Merle P. Discussion: Susanne would we receive a value in terms of the donation? Something we could count towards local match, Lee thought this would be possible. Motion to donate
old Galavan bus to City passes.
Treasurer’s report- Sunshine Ross: This is the 1st month of the new fiscal year so not a lot to report yet. Expenses are very close to last year at this point, nothing stands out.

For the Good of the Bus
Dan Martin, SCS looking at routing options.
614 came and went; we have not seen it for 4 months. We
need to get feedback to the State in that they bought a lot of these buses. Dan is feeling some frustration in that parts are not available. Lee is in contact with Adam Craft.
There
are a lot of little maintenance issues with the buses.
Chris mentioned instead of repainting the bottom area of the bus we could use a wrap. Big Sky buses use this and seem to work
well. Dan mentioned they actually offer some protection.
Jeff R.: Do we have any vehicles left in the storage barn? We currently have 2 in the barn to substitute. Dan is concerned but
pointed out their ability to be very resourceful.
Vicky York returned to the question of handicapped rider that had to wait. Drivers have been instructed to keep the line on schedule unless the rider was visible within a half of a block.
