The Equipment Division’s primary mission is to provide effective and economical equipment services for other City departments by maintaining vehicles and equipment and keeping a comprehensive parts and supply inventory. 

The Equipment Fund furnishes and maintains vehicles and major construction equipment.  This includes motor vehicle inspections, scheduling preventive and normal maintenance, recording maintenance history, analyzing equipment costs and defining replacement cycles, and drafting specifications for the purchase of new equipment.

In addition the Equipment Fund maintains a fuel supply station.  As an internal service fund for the City, the Equipment Fund generates its revenue by billing other departments.  This service is provided to all City departments.  The Fire and Light & Power departments purchase their own vehicles and receive maintenance from the Equipment Fund on a contract basis.
