DISCUSSION The Fleet Maintenance Division's annual Equipment Replacement Program is included in the City's annual budget and identifies vehicles scheduled for replacement. Funding is monitored through a depreciation schedule established with each department. The Public Works Agency uses 11 street sweepers to cover over 400 miles of residential streets, 100 miles of primary streets, 50 miles of industrial areas, and 25 miles of alleys. The program also includes sweeping over 81,000 curb miles and the removal of 11,000 cubic yards of gutter litter each year. Due to age, engine hours, and worn condition, two 1999 Athey sweepers have been approved for replacement in the current fiscal year. To comply with Air Quality Management District standards, the new street sweepers will be compressed natural gas units. Specifications for the new sweepers also call for a high right side dump hopper system to accommodate proper disposal directly to the Waste Management trash dumpsters.
