Strategic Goal #14
Vehicles & Equipment
Issue
The District owns and maintains a small vehicle and equipment fleet to support its operations. We generally plan on replacing pickup trucks and the sedan every 8-10 years and other items of equipment every 12-20 years. These timeframes are adjusted as necessary based on the use, condition, and importance of each item. This table lists our items and the years they are planned for replacement. The cost to replace assumes a 2% annual inflation factor.
