Annabelle Day scores 1,000th career point in North Tonawanda's big winPune: The accident involving a BEST e-bus in Kurla, which claimed seven lives until now, has come up as an eye-opener for the city-based PMPML (Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited). Senior officials of the transport body on Wednesday called an urgent meeting of all the private contractors providing buses to PMPML, asking them to furnish details of the drivers. "We want to check whether these drivers possess a valid licence and other documents or not. The driver involved in the Kurla incident was driving an e-bus and claimed that he was not comfortable with the vehicle's automatic transmission system. Keeping this in mind, we will also check the training module these private contractors are offering their drivers before handing them the steering wheel," Nitin Narvekar, joint managing director of PMPML, told TOI. PMPML has a fleet of 490 e-buses, which are provided by three private contractors. These buses are equipped with an automatic transmission system, which can automatically change gears without having to use the clutch. Narvekar said while instructions to them (contractors) to ensure that their drivers are disciplined and follow traffic rules and regulations were given, based on checks on their drivers' training module, the Central Institute of Road Transport (CIRT) would be contacted. "We are going to have a word with them (CIRT) on providing the best possible training to these drivers so that they learn the latest available technology in buses." A former official, who recently retired from PMPML, however, said the private contractors were not following many regulations. "There is no proper monitoring until such an incident occurs. Contractors tend to change their drivers constantly, and their details are not provided to the transport body. How can one expect then that the drivers will know everything about the automatic transmission system and other upcoming things?" Many of these contractors don't pay the drivers well, resulting in them having to do extra shifts after their eight-hour duty with PMPML ends, he pointed out. "They are tired and, without rest, are bound to make mistakes. The new buses have power steering, electronic transmission system, etc., but if drivers are getting changed rapidly, how will they learn? Last year, there was an accident involving two PMPML buses, including an e-bus on Nagar Road, in which more than 20 passengers were injured. The reason behind the accident was a culmination of the above factors." An official, who requested anonymity, seconded the retired man's opinion. "We should know about their drivers, what kind of training they have had, and how long the training went on. There are instances when we don't know who the driver is. Anyone can learn driving and become a driver, but proper information about the system and the dashboard is very important. In connection with e-buses, we frequently get complaints from commuters that they zip past other vehicles, and the buses being soundless, commuters get startled. E-buses have also been suffering a large number of breakdowns," the official said. Narvekar said he would check the agreement between PMPML and the private contractors on the training requirements of the drivers and would find out if it was being diligently followed or not. "It always takes a tragic incident for agencies to wake up and act like a knee-jerk reaction before everything is back to its previous position. The need of the hour is to follow and act continuously," PMP Pravasi Manch's Sanjay Shitole said. In total, PMPML operates around 935 buses from eight private contractors.

Warren County supervisors gave themselves more power on Tuesday to oversee the investments of local taxes and to keep a better eye on the books. The Board of Supervisors voted on Tuesday to abolish the county finance board it established on Nov. 18. State code allows the county to create a finance board. The state then allows the supervisors to, by ordinance, abolish the finance board. Once abolished, the panel’s authority, powers and duties revert to the Board of Supervisors. The action gave supervisors the power to direct the county treasurer to invest money in state investment pools and provide monthly reports on the investments. Chairwoman Cheryl L. Cullers, Vice Chairman Jerome K. “Jay” Butler and supervisors Vicky L. Cook, Richard A. Jamieson and John W. Stanmeyer voted in favor of an ordinance abolishing the short-lived board. Supervisors also voted in a separate action to direct the treasurer to invest county funds in one or both state investment pools and provide monthly reports on the amounts and accrued interest. County Administrator Edwin Daley explained by phone on Wednesday that the county collected $8 million in real estate tax receipts last week, Daley said. The county could deposit that money into an investment account the same day and accrue interest, Daley said. But county officials recently raised concerns about investment interest accruals in the last couple of years. In one year information showed a negative amount, Daley said. “(We) don’t understand how you lose money on $15 million of investments,” Daley said. Supervisors on Tuesday held a public hearing on the proposed ordinance. South River District resident John Jenkins said he opposed the abolishment of the finance board. Jenkins pointed out that the state code calls for a finance board to include a county citizen “of proven integrity and business ability” as an appointed member. Jenkins said he thinks it’s a good idea to have such a citizen to help the county manage its $91 million budget. Wood responded to Jenkins’ comments before the vote and noted that the county has a finance/audit committee that meets once a month. Butler and Wood also serve on the committee. The committee includes three appointed citizens. The committee’s mission “is to review all of the county’s internal fiscal controls,” Wood said. “We identify gaps of what needs to be looked at to make sure that the finances and the budgets, reports are being presented in a standardized way, transparent ...” Cook said. Whenever the committee finds what Cook called a “hiccup” in financial reporting for a department, such as the treasurer’s office or the School Board, the panel then can request representatives of those entities to speak to the committee. “[T]his (finance) board is taking it a step level higher, which is going to be a board that will be working with the treasurer, because there’s a separation of powers between Warren County and the treasurers, and we’re working together to try to work on some improving of investments and trying to look at better ways of accounting and investing in our finances,” Cook said. The finance/audit committee members also have term limits, Cook added. The resolution refers to the supervisors’ actions creating and abolishing a finance board. The resolution goes on to state “the Board is concerned that County funds are not being invested to maximize their investment returns; WHEREAS, pursuant to Code of Virginia § 58.1-3156, the Board determines that County funds are drawing a lesser rate of interest than they otherwise may be earning; WHEREAS, the Board is entitled, pursuant to Code of Virginia § 58.1-3160, to receive a monthly report from the County Treasurer on the amount of County money on deposit with each depository ..." Supervisors requested that the treasurer invest all available county funds with the Virginia Local Government Investment Pool and/or the Virginia Municipal League/Virginia Association of Counties Finance Virginia Investment Pool. Supervisors also directed the treasurer to provide monthly reports on the amount of county money on deposit with each depository and the interest earned on each account. Also at the meeting, supervisors voted to: • Lease the Claude A. Stokes Jr. Community Swimming Pool to the Warren County Sunfish for $613 for their swim practices and meets from May 25-July 13, 2025. • Approve an amendment to the agreement between the county and LaBella Associates to extend the contract to Dec. 12, 2025. • Approve the board’s legislative initiatives for 2025. • Re-appoint Walter Mabe to the Department of Social Services Advisory Board for a four-year term from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2027. • Authorize the Department of Fire and Rescue Services to execute the proposed firefighter cancer protection plan to provide secondary sets of personal protective equipment for all full-time employees, and access to secondary sets of equipment for all part-time employees and volunteer responders in the amount of $365,335. • Authorize the county administrator to execute agreement with T. Preston Bennett/PG Bennett Enterprises as the emergency medical services physician-operational medical director. • Approve the request from the Department of Public Works to replace the chiller unit at the Public Safety Building. The department plans to buy a new, Innovative Air Technologies unit from Hoffman Mechanical Solutions in the amount of $515,627 • Accept the grant award from the SRT Small Rural Tribal Body Worn Camera Grant Program, and to add $162,000 to the grant budget line item. The county must spend $162,000 which will be reimbursed by the grant. The total project cost, including hardware, software, equipment, five years of licensing and five years of unlimited storage for that period is $299,416.71. • Approve the purchase of a Kubota tractor for $55,977.80 with funds from the Shenandoah Farms Sanitary District budget. Prior to the meeting, supervisors met in closed session to consult with legal counsel on matters concerning the Front Royal-Warren County Economic Development Authority and related litigation and financial matters; and a lawsuit between Rockingham County and unknown heirs of Frances Rexrode.
