Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $18,510.47 from the Fleet Management Capital Fund 5205 with Jerry Pate Turf & Irrigation Inc for the purchase of one (1) electric utility cart.
Emergency action is requested so that older high mileage vehicles can be removed from service and newer vehicles can be placed into service.
