Mayor Kirksey addressed Council to provide an update on City-owned,
assigned 2417 vehicles Mayor Kirksey gave the full history of how the City began
assigning vehicles to members of the Police Department to take home and return
should they need them during the riots of 1967, which then trickled over to members
of the Department of Public Works Mayor Kirksey stated the City currently has 54
assigned 24/7 vehicles and the Administration does plan to reduce that number to
49 vehicles by December 1, 2011, which is a 30% reduction since 2008
Mayor Kirksey indicated the goal of the Administration is to reduce the
City fleet by 26% by December, 2011, and stated the overall costs to maintain the
City's fleet of 24/7 vehicles is only $37,263 per year Further, a replacement cost
model will need to be evaluated once vehicles are recovered which more than likely
would be a higher priced model to the City than the current 24/7 vehicles In
addition, Mayor Kirksey stated that if the vehicles were in fact sold at a one-time only
auction, the amount netted by the City would only be approximately $66,000, as the
fleet of City vehicles was aging and their subsequent values diminished Mayor
Kirksey concluded the presentation would be the first part of a two part report he
would like to provide to Council concerning City-owned vehicles and hoped the
information provided was helpful in clearing up any confusion concerning their
related expenses
