Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Department of Transportation, Maintenance and Operations Division, Fleet Services Unit (Fleet) is requesting to remove one (1) 1/2 ton pickup totaling $43,000 from the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Fixed Asset List due to supply chain issues and the manufacturer canceling the order. Staff has held conversations with the Sheriff's Department and determined a full-size SUV would be an acceptable substitute and is still available through the manufacturer as a replacement vehicle. The full-size SUV is an additional $7,000 totaling $50,000; however, Fleet has realized savings from one (1) 1/2 ton 4x4 pickup, which was originally budgeted at $56,000. Fleet requests to reduce the cost of one (1) 1/2 ton 4x4 pickup from $56,000 to $49,000 to accommodate the full-size SUV replacement without requiring a budget transfer.
The function served by the vehicle is critical to the operation of the Department to which it is assigned. Department needs cannot be met through the redistribution of underutilized vehicles.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to make the changes to the fixed asset list; however, the assigned Department would be have to continue utilizing a vehicle that has reached its target mileage and requires replacement.
