County approves lease swap to replace two Malibus with all‑wheel‑drive vehicles for county aides
Summary
County staff said replacing two leased Malibus with two all‑wheel‑drive vehicles is budgeted and aligns with an enterprise-style fleet leasing approach; the committee approved the replacement.
County staff requested approval to return two leased Malibus and instead lease two all‑wheel‑drive vehicles for county aides, arguing the change is budgeted and more cost‑effective in the current leasing program.
"In this case, we're just gonna return the 2 Malibus and instead lease 2 all wheel drive," a staff presenter said while explaining the practice of carrying leased vehicles on the county's major equipment list for legacy reasons. Members discussed how leases are recorded as capital items and how equity in returned vehicles can inform future procurement decisions.
The committee voted to approve the replacement; staff said the county's approach combines leasing and selective purchasing depending on equity and lifecycle considerations.
