JUN 71994 Box 9 2., PAS 595, <br />® COMMITTEE REPORT - COUNCIL OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS <br />The following Council of Public Officials committee report was <br />submitted for information only: <br />Update on vehicle Maintenance <br />Mr. Chandler reported that quite a lot has been accomplished <br />within a short period of time. There. has been a number 'of <br />meetings of the core administrative group and the fleet managers. <br />The purchasing managers of each of the entities have been meeting <br />and there has been some individual sessions between the fleet <br />managers, with all of this information being funnelled back into <br />the core group. Initially the groups gathered data to identify <br />the capabilities that each of us have and what our needs and <br />problems are, so that we can come up with solutions. We now <br />have a master map of countywide repair facilities, fuelling <br />sites, and the.general capabilities of each location. We have a <br />listing of all vehicles and equipment, with an eye to replacement <br />of vehicles and perhaps more co-op bidding. There is some <br />potential for joint utilization of certain specialized equipment. <br />We also now have an itemization of repairs that are contracted <br />out when it is not cost effective to do it in-house, with the <br />idea being to perhaps go out with a co-op bid for better unit <br />prices. The Purchasing Managers will continue to meet and expand <br />beyond just this area, for example on automotive replacement <br />parts, and they have already developed draft specifications to go <br />out to bid. . <br />Mr. Chandler asserted that both the county and the school <br />board have a need for updating and upgrading their vehicle <br />maintenance and repair facilities. He feels that as discussions <br />progress between the school district and the county there may be <br />strong potential for a joint association in•terms of a possible <br />site and facilities. He reported that everyone involved has <br />shown a lot of interest and enthusiasm, and he thinks down the <br />road it is really going to show us some dividends. <br />Mr. Chandler will provide Chairman Macht with a written <br />summary of the major points along with the data on the total <br />fleet. <br />A discussion transpired about the circulation of surplus <br />lists between all the entities. <br />40 <br />
