Department Info
Equipment Services is a customer service-oriented internal service fund that is responsible for the maintenance, fueling and replacement of the City’s fleet. Equipment Services’ mission statement is to work together to provide a well-maintained, safe, dependable and cost-effective fleet for the City by being service-oriented and having pride in our work.
Proactive in the preventive maintenance of vehicles, the Equipment Services Department strives to be cost-efficient and at the same time, effective in its mission. Primary goals include:
