Mayor and Councilmembers,

As follow up to Tuesday night’s discussion and questions regarding the replacement of City fleet vehicles, I am providing additional information prior to the budget workshop tonight. The internal service fund (ISF) established for the replacement of City vehicles is funded by each vehicle paying in an annual depreciation amount such that the estimated replacement cost at the end of the vehicle’s useful life is fully deposited by the estimated year for replacement. The ISF currently uses an estimated 3% annual average inflation rate. The fleet inventory is managed in an asset management database, which allows each vehicle record to have an associated fund/division, purchase price, replacement cost, date of replacement , maintenance work orders, etc.

In preparation for the proposed biennial budget, we total the vehicle depreciation cost by fund/division. The attached shows the deposits to the ISF in the proposed baseline budget for 23/24 and 24/25 and shows a history of those deposits dating back to FY 16/17. As shown, there is marked increase in the amount the Fire Department deposits into the fund starting in FY 21/22. At that time, the Fire Trucks and Fire Engines began paying into the fund. Prior to that, it was determined that sufficient funding was not available for this purpose. We are now depreciating all Fire Department units, which will include the Fire Boat, once received. The costs included for Engines 1 and 4 in Exhibit 2 of Tuesday’s agenda are the estimated purchase prices for each truck. As Director O’Brien pointed out, each truck has contributed to the ISF. The amount deposited for each is $577,532, which leaves the funding need for Engine 1 at $862,468 and $922,468 for Engine 2.

Please note that the Sewer Enterprise Fund does not participate in the fleet replacement ISF. As an enterprise fund there are all sorts of rules and regulation about comingling sewer funds with other funds. Instead, the sewer service charge rate study, done once every 5 years, considers the cost of maintaining a sewer fleet, including ongoing replacement, amongst many other costs and sets the rate such that the revenue into the program allows for a pay as you go basis. This is for vehicles, pipes, pumps, etc…

Also attached is the complete list of vehicles proposed for replacement in FY 23/24 and FY 24/25, including the two Engines and Battalion 1. I also want to acknowledge that over the last five years, the City has replaced 180 vehicles across all departments - a notable effort by our Fleet Services Division to renew an aged fleet.

Sincerely,
Jen
