Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

11. Action Item: Removal of Maintenance Vehicles from Fleet Presenter: Jamarcus Simon Description: Removal of two maintenance trucks from the District Fleet. Truck #106 - 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 Truck #109 - 1988 Chevrolet 1500 Both vehicles currently have several mechanical issues.  After reviewing their condition, the estimated cost to repair these trucks would exceed their current market value. Due to the extent of repairs needed and the age of the vehicles, it would not be financially practical for the district to invest in repairing them. Additionally, their condition makes them unsuitable for auction, as their value is extremely minimal. For these reasons, Mr. Simon is requesting approval to remove both vehicles from the fleet and dispose of them through a salvage/junk process.
