Body
WHEREAS, it is the mission of the Department of Public Service and their Fleet Management team to procure and maintain effective, safe, reliable equipment for user groups at the lowest cost possible; and
WHEREAS, past practice of automatically replacing equipment in predetermined time frames has made it difficult to hone in on critical needs when trying to determine the right equipment to replace; and
WHEREAS, reduced revenues provided minimal purchases over the last 4 years; and
WHEREAS, a philosophical change to fleet management results in a commitment to an annual equipment appropriation, the creation of two accounts to fund all purchases/leases, unspent funds remain in the equipment program, and obsolete equipment proceeds will return to the equipment program accounts; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the administration to move forward with appropriating funds to these two new equipment accounts;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF HE CITY OF GAHANNA, STATE OF OHIO:
