C. § 5339 Bus and Bus Facilities grant funds, with a budget of 106,647. This also includes approval of a related budget amendment, signifying that funding and authority are in place for the vehicle acquisition.Although the specific vehicle vendor is not named in the agenda, the purchase decision is effectively underway, but it points to an active use of FTA 5339 funds for fleet modernization. Vendors supplying paratransit vehicles, upfitting, telematics, or maintenance solutions can use this as a signal that Hot Springs is investing in accessible transit equipment and may plan additional grant-funded fleet replacements in future grant cycles.
Resolution explicitly ties the purchase to FTA 49 U.S.C. § 5339 Bus and Bus Facilities grant funding and a budget amendment.

The July 31, 2026 capital checks showed Amazon as the payee for training laptops. The memo ties the purchase to technology and the Polaris migration rollout. This is a completed equipment buy, but it still signals the cooperative's training and deployment needs around the new ILS.
Lakeland reported it purchased 8 laptops for hands-on Polaris training with member libraries. The devices are part of the ILS migration rollout and were already bought by the time of the August 13, 2026 cooperative report. This is a small but clear technology refresh tied to implementation and training support.
The tentative budget hearing tied service expansion to replacement of a 2005 helicopter with a larger-capacity helicopter. The budget set aside $659,100 for principal and $123,041 for interest in FY 2026-2027, showing the aircraft purchase was already financed before the September 9, 2026 hearing. The sales value now is follow-on work around maintenance, parts, upgrades, insurance, and aviation support tied to the expanded service area.
