MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Equipment Services Division is to support all City
departments by maintaining, repairing and replacing City equipment

in a timely and cost-effective manner, so as to prevent interruptions
in City services.

DIVISION DESCRIPTION

The Equipment Services Division is responsible for providing maintenance, repair,
procurement, and disposal of fleet vehicles and related equipment. The Division also
oversees the supply warehouse.

The Fleet Services Division is committed to maintaining, repairing, and replacing
city vehicles and equipment in a timely and cost-effective manner so as to prevent
interruptions in city services. The Fleet Services Division follows a replacement schedule
to determine vehicle depreciation and estimate service life. During the vehicle’s service
life, all parts, fuel and repairs are tracked. Each year during the budget process, all
vehicles are evaluated based on their age, mileage, and maintenance and repair costs.
Following this evaluation process, the necessary vehicles are budgeted to be replaced
in the upcoming fiscal year. After vehicles are approved for replacement, Fleet Services
staff examine them to determine if any equipment can be reused, in an effort to lower
costs.

PRIOR YEAR RESULTS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS

• The Equipment Repair Program addressed predictive, non-predictive and
emergency equipment maintenance and repair. During scheduled preventive
maintenance, the piece of equipment is thoroughly inspected for deficiencies.
Deficiencies are repaired immediately or scheduled for repair at a later date.
• Last year the City purchased a new ladder truck for the Fire Department, three
new Police units along with five new vehicles for Public Works, Utility Billing
and Fleet Services.
