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.

Services.
