City Fleet Faces Operational Challenges; Council Considers Vehicle Acquisition Budget
The city is facing challenges with its vehicle fleet due to high mileage and mechanical issues, particularly with patrol trucks. The 2014 model is still in operation but at risk of engine failure. The city aims to acquire new vehicles annually to maintain the fleet and avoid higher maintenance costs, but did not receive budget approval for any vehicles in the past year. The cost for a new, ready-to-go vehicle is estimated at $60,000.
