Fleet Operations Manager Reinartz unveils 5-year vehicle replacement schedule

Farmers Branch City Council received an important update on fleet management during their study session on April 22, 2025. Fleet Operations Manager Kevin Reinartz presented a comprehensive plan for replacing city-owned vehicles and equipment, addressing a significant gap in the city's previous approach to fleet management.

Reinartz highlighted that when he joined the team two years ago, there was no clear strategy for replacing aging fleet assets. To rectify this, he developed a five-year replacement schedule aimed at ensuring timely and efficient updates to the city's vehicles and equipment. This structured plan is designed to standardize the replacement process, making it easier to manage and maintain the fleet.

The presentation outlined specific timelines for replacing major vehicles, which will help the city maintain operational efficiency and reduce maintenance costs over time. By implementing these guidelines, Farmers Branch aims to enhance its service delivery and ensure that city operations run smoothly.

This initiative marks a significant step forward in the city's commitment to effective asset management and operational excellence. As the council moves forward with these plans, residents can expect improved reliability in city services supported by a modernized fleet.
