BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
Units 045 and 078 were reviewed and approved by the Fleet Economic Committee and Fleet Services Manager for replacement in the 2024 budget. Vehicles are scored for replacement based on four criteria: age, usage, condition and repair costs. Recommending a vehicle for replacement requires a score of 23.0 or greater.

The retired vehicles will be sold through one of the City's auction companies.

The units will be used to support work crews, tow trailers with smaller equipment attached and to clear utility parking areas in the winter.
