Council approves five-year lease for 20 vehicles; annual cost not specified in transcript
Summary
Council approved a five-year lease and consignment plan with Enterprise Fleet Management to replace 20 vehicles and shift to a lease-to-own model; transcript listed an unclear annual cost, which is reported here as not specified.
The council approved a five-year lease agreement with Enterprise Fleet Management to add 20 vehicles to the city fleet and implement a lease-to-own strategy intended to reduce fleet age and maintenance costs.
City Manager Eric Hanson said the program will replace aging vehicles, shift funding to a lease-to-own model financed from the vehicle replacement fund, and include a consignment agreement to sell older vehicles; proceeds would return to the city. The transcript contains a garbled figure for the annual cost (rendered as "$1.45 to 60"), so the exact annual payment was not clear from the meeting record; the city noted that the vehicles were expected to reduce the average fleet age and increase equity when sold.
Council approved the agreement and consignment approach by roll call (5–0). Staff will complete financial details and return with the finalized contract documents and schedule for vehicle deliveries and consignment sales.
