Enterprise Vehicle Leasing partners with sheriff's office for fleet management strategy

Bourbon County is set to enhance its vehicle management strategy following a detailed presentation by Kenneth Olsen from Enterprise Vehicle Leasing during the Bourbon County Commission meeting on July 14, 2025. The initiative aims to streamline the replacement and maintenance of the county's fleet, which includes vehicles used by the sheriff's office and public works.

Olsen outlined a comprehensive plan that focuses on leveraging Enterprise's extensive resources to improve efficiency and reduce costs associated with vehicle management. The program is designed for small to medium-sized fleets, which aligns with Bourbon County's needs. By utilizing an equity lease model, the county can rotate vehicles more frequently, potentially saving money and optimizing operational expenses.

The partnership with Enterprise is expected to provide Bourbon County with a structured approach to vehicle procurement, maintenance, and resale. Olsen emphasized the importance of establishing a relationship-based partnership, ensuring ongoing support and tailored solutions for the county's specific requirements.

In addition to vehicle replacement, the program includes options for maintenance, fuel management, and telematics, allowing for a holistic approach to fleet management. The county will benefit from Enterprise's expertise in determining the optimal timing for vehicle turnover, which is crucial for maximizing resale value and minimizing costs.

The commission's discussions highlighted the need for a more organized vehicle management system, as current records are scattered and difficult to track. With Enterprise's assistance, the county aims to implement a more efficient process that will ultimately enhance service delivery to the community.

As Bourbon County moves forward with this partnership, residents can anticipate improved operational capabilities from local government services, particularly in law enforcement and public works. The next steps will involve finalizing the agreement with Enterprise and beginning the implementation of the proposed vehicle management strategy.
