Commissioners authorize lease amendments with Enterprise Fleet Management for three 2025 SUVs
Summary
Kerr County commissioners authorized the county judge to sign amendments to the master equity lease agreement with Enterprise Fleet Management to acquire three 2025 SUVs, using a capitalized reduction approach on two vehicles.
Kerr County approved amendments to its master equity lease agreement with Enterprise Fleet Management on Oct. 27 to cover three 2025 sport‑utility vehicles.
Captain Grant Gage explained the county executed a capitalization reduction on two vehicles down to $1 to remain within the lease program and to address tax and depreciation rules under Enterprise's master equity process. "We did a capitalization reduction. Basically, what it is is we paid completely that whole amount all the way down to a dollar," Gage said, describing the administrative paperwork needed from Enterprise when that approach is used. The county judge is the authorized signature for such amendments, staff said.
The court approved a motion to authorize the county judge to sign the lease amendments and to continue the county's established fleet purchasing process through Enterprise. Staff said the Sheriff's Office uses larger SUVs for staff movement and emergency responses and that some vehicles will be purchased with SCAP (State Criminal Alien Assistance Program) funds for correctional operations.
The court discussed whether such amendments would be routinely brought forward; officials said the county judge's signature is required for master equity lease amendments but that the administrative process should not materially slow vehicle procurement.
Outcome: Commissioners approved authorization unanimously.
