The Fleet Services Section works collaboratively <br />with various City departments, such as the Planning and Building Agency (PBA) and the <br />Community Development Agency (CDA), to evaluate vehicle and equipment needs and <br />facilitates their procurement. <br />The Planning and Building Agency (PBA) has identified the need to replace 14 vehicles <br />that are reaching the end of their term this fiscal year. The vehicles being replaced are <br />currently leased. Transitioning from leased to owned vehicles provide the City long- <br />term asset ownership, eliminates mileage restrictions, and avoids lease -related <br />penalties for standard wear and tear. Replacement of these vehicles is essential for <br />Building Inspectors to conduct daily field inspections of construction projects, ensuring <br />compliance with local and state building codes. They also support Code Enforcement <br />Officers in their enforcement and investigation of violations related to the State Health <br />
