This grant will be used to purchase a van for the senior nutrition program. We are requesting $7,500.00 from the city's senior center fund to provide the match (10 %) and the balance for the cost of the van. We currently have a 2002 Dodge Caravan. We have logged over 125,356 miles on the van. To date the City has invested in many dollars to repair the van for mechanical and electronic issues. The City Shop Dept. Head has recommended replacing the dodge caravan due to age, mileage, maintenance, history and current repairs that are needed. Considering the needs we have for our meal program, he has researched vehicles and received an estimate from government purchasing for the cost of a 2011 Ford Transit Connect XLT, 4 -door Wagon Premium.
