R14-13
Each site dealing with inventory management needs a barcode reader. (Finding 4)
F5
Previously approximately 75% of supplies and equipment was processed through the district warehouse and by April 10, 2014 approximately 99% was being processed through the district warehouse. Special orders that contain equipment valued at $500 or more are sometimes sent directly to the school site instead of the warehouse.
Related Recommendations (1)
R14-14
The District maintain their policy (AR 3310) of equipment purchases including special orders of equipment valued at $500 or more being sent to the District warehouse prior to distribution to school sites. (Finding 5)
F6
Some equipment valued at $500 or more was delivered to the construction site of the Adelanto High School and not received initially at the district warehouse. Non-district personnel (i.e. construction workers) were asked to sign for the shipments since no District employee was on site to expedite the delivery. District employees were not always informed of the receipt of equipment and had to travel to the construction site to asset tag items valued at $500 or more. Some pieces of equipment were then transferred to the former Goodwill campus which was serving as a temporary site for the Adelanto High School causing delays and lack of security for valuable items. Some equipment seen at the yet-to-be opened Adelanto High School did not have asset tags as of the Grand Jury visit on April 17, 2014.
Related Recommendations (1)
R14-15
As new school sites are opened in the future, the District should have a representative available on site to receive valuable equipment. (Finding 6)
F7
As noted on the declarations of surplus equipment, some of the items disposed of during the last three years had asset tag numbers and others did not. No estimated value was noted on any of the three approvals for disposal (see attachments A, B, C). The VVUHSD School Board took action on all three requests but the method for disposal of the five (5) available methods was not noted in the requests.
Related Recommendations (2)
R14-16
Adhere to VVUHSD BP 3270 for disposal of surplus items. (Finding 7)
R14-17
Declarations of surplus equipment need to have methods of disposal noted. If the equipment were purchased through federal funds or matching non-federal funds, it needs to be sold with funds distributed accordingly. (Finding 7)

It does provide the previously mentioned brochures to motorists with disabled vehicles. On occasion drivers have expected a full tank of gas. Technological Procedures Updated technology is used. FSP drivers utilize their individual Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) Data Collection System to enter assist information at the site of their service. PDA's are downloaded to a Microsoft SQL server database at the service provider's headquarters at the conclusion of a shift. Utilizing cell service providers to download information throughout the shift would be preferable. The CHP can access the FSP driver's location and verify that a service provider is at a designated location through the use of Automated Vehicle Locator (AVL) Units. Modifying the FSP communication/tracking equipment so it does not function properly is strictly prohibited. In addition, length of time at a site can be determined. Riverside and San Bernardino Counties are among the first of the 14 counties in the FSP Program that can gather data and tie it back to the precise driver who provided the assist. FSP drivers are recognized publicly by the SANBAG Board of Directors and on the SANBAG website for their service. For the past five (5) years, the Top Driver and Drivers of Excellence of the prior calendar year are selected and recognized based on a minimum of 1,000 assists, no "write-ups" noting failure to follow FSP procedures, no late arrivals when beginning the Beat, a 99% accuracy rate of entering assist data into the data device and compliments from motorists on the comment cards. 2013-2014 San Bernardino County Grand Jury Final Report Some of the FSP fleets have been converted to compressed natural gas (CNG) but the conversion is not yet mandated. Because fleets are voluntarily converting to CNG, using incentives from various sources including the California Energy Commission, allocations in the budget designated for incentives for conversion may be reallocated to other areas.
