Funding is monitored through a <br />depreciation schedule established with each department. For Fiscal Year <br />2007-2008, 85 vehicles are identified for replacement and the proposed <br />action is to replace five of those identified and add one new vehicle to <br />the fleet. Additionally, the Fleet Division reviews the acquisition in <br />accordance with the City's Hybrid and Alternative Fuel Vehicle Acquisition <br />Policy. Currently, hybrid vehicles are available in the midsize passenger <br />vehicle category, but not full-size utility vehicles, nor midsize large <br />trucks. Agencies utilize different classes of vehicles in accordance to <br />the needs and requirements of their operations. <br /> <br />The Fire Department has assigned one %-ton Chevrolet Suburban utility <br />vehicle to the Captain assigned as the Emergency Prepared Coordinator, to <br />allow for off-site communications during an emergency and to carry medical <br />and firefighting supplies. <br /> <br />22E-1 <br />
