3. Provide all maintenance, monitoring, and procurement
services for the City’s fleet.

3.4 - Thoroughly plan for future capital investments
and associated costs

Fleet Services enables other city departments to
achieve their missions. The importance of Fleet
Services is immeasurable. Forecasting vehicle and
equipment life cycles along with an extensive
preventative maintenance program improves overall
fleet health, reduces repair costs and increases fleet
availability rates. The Police Department relies on this
service to ensure safe and secure neighborhoods that
support a unique quality of life in Colleyville. Fleet
Services supports Public Works in delivering
emergency and routine management of the vehicles
and equipment that our city uses to operate. By
providing these services to the City’s fleet, except for large fire apparatuses and small
routine repairs on turf maintenance equipment, Fleet Services facilitates the mobility
of the public servants dedicated to the City of Colleyville.

4. Manage the stormwater system to protect properties from flooding, ensure that
stormwater entering our creeks and water ways is free of pollutants, and reduce health
risks through our Mosquito Management Program.

3.3 - Mitigate stormwater runoff and flooding risks

Stormwater management programs reduce the risk
of flooding, prevent erosion, and protect water
quality. Development within the City’s floodplains
and floodways is managed by Public Works in
accordance with federal and state laws and
regulations. Engineering administers the Municipal
Separate Service Stormwater System (MS4) permit
and ensures compliance with all regulations
governing clean water and stormwater runoff.
Environmental compliance efforts include the
citywide Integrated Mosquito Management Program
to mitigate public health risks. Regular inspections of
inlets and outfalls reduce the likelihood of hazardous
driving conditions during rain events. The
maintenance and inspection of storm drainage
facilities also reduces the negative impact of the
quantity of rainwater on surrounding properties,
roadway integrity, and stormwater infrastructure.
Monitoring the quality of our runoff for pollutants
protects local water sources in addition to animal and
human life.
