Fleet Maintenance
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to operate the Fleet Maintenance Department in a self-sufficient manner, reflecting both maintenance of County vehicles and replacement of vehicles.
Policy
It is the policy of the BOCC that the Fleet Maintenance Department operate within an internal service fund. The internal service fund shall recover, over time, the full cost of providing fleet maintenance services to customers, as well as the projected replacement cost (net of salvage value) for vehicles owned by Fleet Maintenance and rented to departments and agencies. The Department will develop a fleet replacement schedule and update that schedule annually.
Within this internal service fund, there will be maintained a fleet replacement reserve, the purpose of which is to accumulate the funds necessary to replace County vehicles when they meet County standards for replacement. Fleet replacement standards shall be reviewed annually to ensure rental rates are set to recover sufficient funds to replace vehicles.
Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the Fleet Maintenance Department, under the direction of the County Administrator and with the assistance of the Management and Budget Department and the Debt Management Department, to implement this policy.
