No county fleet management policy despite six years of vehicle buying
Summary
Council members are frustrated that the county keeps buying vehicles — like three $124,000 Dodge Durangos for investigators — without a written fleet management policy. A 2023 controller's audit recommended one, drafts have been circulating for two years, and members say they still can't get a clear picture of what the county owns, what it costs to repair, and what should be replaced.

Impact analysis
Ongoing vehicle replacement and repair spending without a formal policy; the Durango purchase alone is $124,515.69.
Departments that need working vehicles get them; taxpayers gain accountability if a policy is finally adopted.
