REVIEW PROGRAM:
David Springer, Director Fleet Services
Mr. Springer stated his department has 20 employees. The largest clients they serve are public
works and the sheriff's department.
Their mission is to provide safe, reliable and cost effective equipment for the county. He said
part of the safety mission includes training and certifying technicians and following federal
inspections required annually. He said technicians are audited monthly to ensure practices are
up to date. He said it's imperative his department has educated operators and they conduct pre -
and post -trip procedures.
Mr. Springer said he relies on a preventative maintenance program. This includes evaluating
purchased parts for potential future failures; evaluating vehicles for premature component
features; and training staff in all aspects of fleet management.
He said his department is constantly looking at efficient ways to manage and reduce its
budget. This includes repurposing vehicles that still function, perhaps in a rental capacity for a
different department.
