City Departments

The Fleet Maintenance division of the Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance of all City vehicles and equipment. Vehicle and Equipment repairs are coordinated and handle by this division at a cost savings to the City while minimizing downtime. Preventive maintenance is an important activity of this division. Regular repairs (oil changes, tune-ups, etc.) are scheduled to keep vehicles and equipment running efficiently. Equipment in good condition reduces downtime and increases productivity. This division provides maintenance and repairs to over 250 vehicles and heavy equipment, such as front-end loaders, packers, and street sweepers.
