Alright, Random, we should just go and get some.

We'll call our TMW shifting for the answer is 29.

And we'll move right to Robert.

The

clicker

should work up there too, Robert.

This one?

I'm gonna keep this brief because it's pretty boring stuff, but uh city fleet management policy.

Um we began developing this two years ago, uh, gone through quite a few iterations, worked with police fire and parks, who are aside from public works our largest fleet members, uh, hammered out some things.

We had some scruntled employees that were dissenters and weren't helping us be successful, they're no longer here, but uh the reason we started this is we needed a way to control and manage our fleet growth, better manage our budget and planning, and to standardize the fleet operations within the division as well as throughout the other departments.

And what our fleet manager uh Travis did was we reached out to all the top-rated fleet departments in the country and got ideas from how they do things.

I'm just gonna touch uh based on the key elements.

So it establishes a fleet uh replacement plan, it's basic it's data driven, it's based on a score system with age, mileage, or hours, idle hours, and maintenance costs.

So we are tracking everything to keep track, you know.

You'll get more points if we performed a ton of maintenance on a younger vehicle that would trigger it to get replaced, you know, before a vehicle that might be older if we have a women like our ambulance we had.

Um our fleet new fleet purchase process uh that basically establishes that when a new vehicle is determined, uh fleet finance and city manager and the corresponding department director get together, agree, fleet looks up prices, gets everything, puts it into the tentative budget for adoption by you guys.

Umfitting and ordering process, it just standardizes all that.

We have forms for the different types of vehicles, you know.

We have a patrol vehicle, this is the standard upfit.

We have uh detective vehicle, this is a standard upfit.

If there's anything different than that, then there's a process to get approval.

You know, there's an increase in cost.

With the replacement plan, it establishes that uh we'll replace it with the site the same type of class.

So if you had an F-150 and it's triggered for replacement, you're gonna get an F-150, not you know a diesel truck or something like that.

Um diesel as part of my

diesel.

Also, as part of this, we kick uh John had a great idea.

It would be a fleet inventory list, so everyone knew the number of vehicles we have.

Uh we've established with all the different departments the number of replacement or uh back line vehicles.

So when a vehicles gets triggered for replacement, if it's needed for say the 10 extra vehicles we need in the police department, it goes on our back line for there's an accident or it gets down and they have a car to pick up that rotates through before the surplus.

So that's all established in the replacement plan.

The fleet financial management, it basically says the fleet department is in charge of all the GLs that are fleet related and they have to get approval prior to using one of those GLs.

Before there are some departments that would make purchases and we couldn't track our our budget.

Um we've been kind of doing that for a year now and it's been working really well.

Maintenance and repair requests basically says we have a system, you have to put the request through that.

It's so we have that data so that we know when we're doing scoring.

That way it gets scheduled and we try to do it in a timely manner.

We're trying to do as much stuff in-house as we can.

A couple years ago with a different fleet manager, our costs ballooned, it just went out of control, they outsourced everything.

We're trying to keep our costs low.

Fuel management just says, you know, we use the fuel management system that the state has.

We track everything, everybody has a pin number, we encourage this process.

You have to get an approval to do something outside of that process so that we know where you're getting fueled and why you're getting fuel, and we can track all that, and then compliance requirements.

You know, it clearly lays out you know, all vehicles get exempt plates, all vehicles have to have by state law the city graphics, unless they're one of those exempt vehicles like detective or uh some of our management positions, also GPS, um track modifications to any of your truck or vehicle without permission, and there's one other thing on there I can't remember.

And then finally, the overall objective is the policy provides a clear framework for measuring performance.

Does the system track driving profiles?

Um, and we don't we don't really have cameras anymore.

We did in our our garbage trucks, and generally that protected us more often.

We did use it a handful of times to get rid of some problematic employees, but most of the time it defended our guys in accidents, but we don't see the types of accidents that the garbage trucks would get into with our other vehicles.

So it's pretty much if somebody complains about speeding, we can look that up on GPS.

Um it tracks like heartbreaking, heart acceleration, idle hours.

Um so you know, we'll our fleet manager will go through that for the most part.

We don't dive into the police department just for protection.

Um they do have access to it, but we generally don't look at those.

We don't really look at the GPS unless we're trying to figure out where a truck is, or we get a complaint and then we try to validate it and then address it with the

department journey.

Are the majority of those that have company vehicle?

Do they take them home at night?

No.

So the guys that are on their shifts for police do, and then guys that are on call in public works, and then some of our foreman and managers do because they respond to emergencies.
