Recommendation
By Minute Motion, approve additional funds for Fiscal Year 2012-13 in an
amount not to exceed $40,000 for supplemental general fleet repairs from
L & L Automotive, Inc., and Ozzie's Automotive, Inc.
Funds are available in General Fund Account No. 110-4331-413-3340, R/M Fleet.
Background
The City's fleet includes more than 80 vehicles that range from small sedans to heavy-
duty trucks that operate on electricity, gasoline, compressed natural gas (CNG),
propane, diesel, or a combination of these fuels. The City's maintenance facility is
neither equipped nor staffed to perform all necessary repairs and maintenance for the
fleet, therefore, the City relies on outside facilities for these services. Each year
approval is requested from the City Council for funds to cover these services, and on
May 24, 2012, Council approved an amount not to exceed $100,000 for Fiscal Year
2012-13 for these services to be obtained from L & L Automotive, Inc., and Ozzie's
Automotive, Inc.

Of the originally approved $100,000, Tess than $13,000 remains. Given that the
average monthly cost to perform vehicle repairs and maintenance has been
approximately $9,600, there are insufficient funds remaining for the balance of the fiscal
year. In order to keep the vehicles in working order, staff is requesting additional
approval for an amount not to exceed $40,000 for services that will continue to be
obtained from L & L Automotive, Inc., and Ozzie's Automotive, Inc.
Fiscal Analysis
This is a necessary maintenance expense with no fiscal impact beyond the cost to
service the fleet vehicles.
