Environmental Services plans new operations building with six-bay mechanic shop
Summary
Director Deborah Trujillo told the committee the current one-bay mechanic shop is insufficient for fleet maintenance and that a new ESD Operations Building is planned with a six-bay shop to improve repair capacity.
Committee members pressed Environmental Services on fleet maintenance capacity during the presentation. One member asked whether the existing one-bay mechanic shop was sufficient for the division’s heavy workload; Director Deborah Trujillo responded plainly, "Oh, absolutely not. No. No. No. It's not. Being honest. Yeah." She said the department is "in the process of the new ESD Operations Building, and they'll have a 6 bay mechanic shop."
Trujillo said the division currently maintains a fleet of roughly 72 large trucks and that having only a single service bay constrains repairs and uptime. The planned operations building and expanded mechanic capacity are intended to reduce downtime and improve service reliability; no funding timeline or budget figures were provided in the presentation.
