The City established a program <br />in which public works vehicles were replaced on a rotated plan every three years. This program <br />saved the City money in that the vehicles were 1raded back to the dealer before the warranty <br />'expired. By scheduling replacement every three years, Staffhad reliable equipment and the <br />resi~ts had dependable service. <br /> <br />Currently, all four truck vehicles are at the point of being 1raded or beyond. Some of these <br />vehicles are three years over due for replacement and as such, we are beginning to experience <br />expensive major repairs costs. The last vehicle that was replaced under this program was in 2000 <br />and cost the City $4,500. This is a very reasonable price to pay for a new vehicle with full <br />warranty. <br /> <br />I would recommend that this program be adopted and budgeted under capital replacement for <br />vehicles for 2004. <br />
