Board approves up to $950,000 lease with Enterprise Fleet Management for district vehicles

The Racine Unified School District board voted unanimously to approve a lease agreement with Enterprise Fleet Management to acquire and manage district vehicles for an amount not to exceed $950,000. District administration presented the recommendation, citing interest‑rate conditions and staggered vehicle deliveries over the next several years as factors in the proposal. A board member moved approval of the lease “for an amount not to exceed $950,000,” another board member seconded the motion, and the board recorded a unanimous vote of eight yeses. Board members said the item had been discussed at the earlier work session and in one‑on‑one follow‑ups with staff; no amendments or conditions were recorded in the meeting minutes. The district indicated the lease would manage vehicle acquisition and vehicle management over the delivery cycle, but the board did not provide further procurement details during the vote. The motion passed with no recorded abstentions; staff indicated the approved amount covers acquisition and management costs tied to interest rates and scheduled deliveries over the next two years.
