Funding is monitored through a depreciation schedule <br />established with each department. Additionally, the Fleet Division reviews <br />the acquisition in accordance with the City's Hybrid and Alternative Fuel <br />Vehicle Acquisition Policy. Currently, hybrid vehicles are available in the <br />midsize passenger vehicle category. <br /> <br />The Public Works Agency's Traffic Division utilizes four-door passenger <br />sedans to perform routine business covering staff management of 300 traffic <br />signals and 32 closed circuit television cameras. In addition, the staff <br />works with local contractors on traffic control and consults with the <br />signal maintenance contractors. The division's current loaner pool sedan <br />has proven to be undependable due to age, mileage and condition and has <br />been approved for replacement in the current fiscal year. The purchase of <br />a Toyota Camry hybrid sedan conforms to the criteria established for the <br />acquisition of hybrid vehicles. <br /> <br />On October 2, 2006, the City Council awarded a contract to Wondries Fleet <br />Group for the purchase of one Toyota Camry hybrid. The vendor has offered <br />to extend the same terms and conditions for one additional hybrid vehicle. <br />Therefore, staff recommends amending the contract with Wondries Fleet <br />Group. , <br /> <br />220-1 <br /> <br />
