Northfield evaluates telematics to track 31‑vehicle fleet; mayor narrows vendor search
Summary
Mayor Jenn Domzalski told council April 12 she has met seven vendors about telematics that would track mileage, fuel use and maintenance for the village’s 31 vehicles; estimated vendor cost is about $20–$25 per vehicle per month and no procurement decision has been made.
The Village of Northfield is evaluating commercial telematics services to centralize vehicle mileage, fuel and maintenance tracking for its 31‑vehicle fleet, Mayor Jenn Domzalski told council during its April 12 meeting. She said she has met with seven vendors and is narrowing the list to a couple of preferred options.
"The cost is approximately $20 to $25 per vehicle per month," Domzalski said, noting the vendors offer a more comprehensive set of services than the Village’s current disparate systems. Councilmember Gary Vojtush asked whether the Village’s existing software could perform those functions and inquired about total cost; the mayor responded that the vendors’ offerings are substantially more capable.
Finance Director and Clerk Jennifer Potvin said the Village’s finances are in good shape and that additional investment income from higher interest rates makes funds available should Council opt to proceed. No formal procurement decision or contract award was made at the meeting.
Council did not set a date for a vote; the mayor said she would continue narrowing options and return with recommendations and cost details for Council review.
