Equipment Maintenance has a staff of 5 which maintains all of the city’s heavy equipment and trucks. The division also commissions new trucks and equipment when necessary. The goal of the Equipment Maintenance Division is to provide the best maintenance program for our heavy fleet which will ensure the longest, trouble free operation of our machinery. Our Equipment Maintenance Division also works hard keeping our older fleet, which is on the average of 15 years old, running effectively and efficiently every day.

Equipment Maintenance has continued its goal of providing operable equipment when it is needed, and kept up and running for immediate use as required.   Providing the safest and most reliable trucks and equipment possible for city operators continues to be our main priority.

         The division continued with the maintenance and rehabilitation program for our 4 sweepers. This work was traditionally performed by a vendor and would cost between $45,000 to $60,000; needless to say a large amount of this money was saved by performing the work in-house.

          We are proud to be the back-bone of our department’s snow removal and ice control program.  Keeping our various trucks and equipment running during tough storms has been a huge challenge and accomplishment for the division.

 Future goals consist of prolonging the life of the equipment by doing more routine services and by reducing the down time for equipment that is being repaired.
