For over one year, the City has included in-house vehicle and elquipment maintenance
activities in its operations. This operation has been provided by the City's mechanic and
mechanic technician.
Last December, staff conducted a review of this operation to determine if more, lessor the
same amount of in-house service is cost effective for the size and age of the City's fleet.
The result of the review was that City staff should, at this time, continue at the same level of
in-house service it now provides. The vehicle maintenance staff has requested approximately
$35,000 for basic equipment to provide preventative maintenance and repair to the City's
fleet. At this time, a large portion of the fleet is coming off of warrantee. The equipment
has been requested to assist the mechanics in providing service to these vehicles.
Management staff has reviewed the request and agrees that the type of equipment requested
for $35,000 would improve the Vehicle Maintenance division's effectiveness -and productivity
and yet not go beyond the level of in-house service we currently provide. Please find under
Attachment I the list of requested equipment. Staff would like to purchase the requested
equipment and request the City Council authorize a budget transfer.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize the appropriation of $35,000 from account 01-4101-290 for
the purpose of purchasing vehicle maintenance equipment.
