We have a bus?!

From the ever fair and balanced S-T Ed pages, Vivian McD is minding the minutes at our SBP Council meetup:

Then there was the item of the "bus." Many of you may not know that the Town now owns a bus! When did we get into the transportation business? Talk about having the cart before the horse, what I heard on Tuesday evening was the cart was so far ahead of the horse it would take weeks for them to get together.

Council questioned our CAO about the use, cost, etc. of this bus and it was obvious that he was unprepared to answer in detail. In fairness, the bus was acquired through a grant, but there was obviously no concise plan prior to this acquisition as to who was responsible for driving, insurance, maintenance etc.

Perhaps someone could enlighten me on "who holds title to the bus," "who is responsible for insurance," "who will be driving," "what is the purpose of this purchase?"

A bus?! This could be great! We could paint it up, roll it out, hire Ken Kesey to drive it ... man, this could be it for the ultimate tourist trip!
