As part of the Fiscal Year 2019-20 capital outlay budget, 51 light duty vehicles (trucks and sedans) were approved for replacement and an additional four new vehicles to be added to the fleet. In response to an expressed desire by City Council to extend the service life of the existing vehicles, staff (Equipment Services Division and the end user department) conducted a thorough evaluation of the existing vehicles proposed for replacement.
