The County is asked to accept title and accept <br />the cost of insurance, which is $1,100 according to Joe Baird. <br />Drivers would come from the Public Health volunteer pool, and <br />Risk Management will require them to have a driver's license <br />check and defensive driver's course. <br />Liability coverage for dentists, hygienists and assistants <br />will be covered through the State as is "Project We Care." <br />We recommend $1,000 for vehicle maintenance, $500 for <br />equipment maintenance and $900 for starting supplies. It is <br />expected that in three to six months sufficient funds will be <br />generated to carry the program.
