Cheyenne fleet fund includes $300,000 fuel-system upgrade and $250,000 shop design
Summary
Deputy Director Craig LaVoy outlined fleet priorities in the FY26 budget: a $300,000 upgrade to fuel-site hardware/software, $250,000 set aside to design a lube/tire shop expansion and equipment replacements; staff also raised tool allowance and training needs.
Deputy Public Works Director Craig LaVoy reviewed the fleet division’s FY26 budget, describing both one-time and planning expenses intended to modernize fuel access and address space constraints at fleet facilities.
LaVoy said the fleet division supports roughly "a thousand vehicles and rolling stocks" and includes 20 employees. Key items highlighted in the presentation included a $300,000 professional‑service line increase to update fuel stations (software and hardware) to reduce manual recording and improve quality control, and $250,000 set aside for design of an oil/lube and tire shop to address current overcrowding and future needs. LaVoy described the $300,000 as a one-time cost for software and some hardware at each fuel site.
Other line items noted were a proposed increase in the mechanics' tool allowance (from $12,000 in prior years to $14,400) and planned equipment purchases, including a $350,000 service truck replacement and a $95,000 lift. LaVoy said parts inventory and fuel labor lines were increased to reflect current usage plus a 5% adjustment.
Council members asked whether the fleet fund had considered compensating employees for using personal vehicles rather than maintaining large municipal passenger fleets; LaVoy said he had not formally analyzed that option and would expect it to require a broader policy from administrative staff. No formal action was taken during the presentation; LaVoy and fleet staff said they would return with details if the council wanted further analysis.
