294 Resolution to Apply for Section 18 Transportation Funding Mr. Mike Byrd, Transportation Planner, requested authority to apply for Section 18 funding to acquire two lift-equipped vans and one mini-van. He estimated the total County cost for these three vehicles, including radios as well as tax and tag, at approximately $15,000.00. Mr. Byrd explained that nursing homes are now contracting for transportation services for their residents, thus increasing the need for lift-equipped vans. This funding request was endorsed by the Transportation Advisory Board at its meeting on December 28, 1994. UPON MOTION of Chairman Barnhart, seconded by Commissioner Ntblock and unanimously carried, the Board adopted the following Resolution.
