Fleet review flags aging vehicles; staff weighs replacing large plow with two smaller trucks
Summary
A fleet report identified several vehicles eligible for sale — including two Ford trucks and a plow truck — and staff discussed the possibility of replacing one large plow with two smaller units to reduce maintenance and insurance costs. The review was described as eligibility assessment, not an immediate replacement recommendation.
Public Works staff presented a fleet report at the Jan. 12 staff meeting identifying several vehicles as eligible for sale based on age and usage, specifically naming two Ford trucks (a dump truck and a work truck) and a plow truck.
Discussion emphasized that the review was an eligibility assessment rather than an immediate recommendation to purchase replacements. Staff noted that replacing the large plow truck with two smaller trucks might lower maintenance and insurance costs, but no formal decision was made and no procurement action was taken during the meeting.
