County plans group CDL training and trims vehicle-replacement request to reduce costs
Summary
Public works staff proposed group CDL training at $1,600 per person to certify several employees and reported trimming vehicle-replacement requests from 57 to about 30–33 as part of a cost‑control effort; staff asked departments for usage logs to identify low‑mileage cars to eliminate.
County staff told the committee they have arranged a group CDL training option priced at $1,600 per person (a 10‑hour online module plus 10 hours in-person training) and that the county is considering covering the cost or asking employees to pay. Staff said three mechanics will be required to obtain CDLs within six months or risk losing their titles.
On fleet replacement, staff said an enterprise proposal for 57 vehicles was negotiated downward to approximately 30–33 replacements to keep fleet turnover near a target of about 35 vehicles. Staff reported 11 decommissioned vehicles were returned and will not be replaced and asked for department‑level mileage logs to identify underused vehicles.
Committee members discussed cost-sharing and possible group rates for training; one member suggested in-house instruction as an option if certification needs become consistent.
