The Fleet Management Division of Public Works is responsible for the centralized purchasing, maintenance and replacement of over 400 pieces of mobile equipment and vehicles for all the divisions of Public Works, as well as providing some vehicles and equipment for other City departments. Fleet Management has developed a fleet of 70 vehicles for citywide use by any department for short term or seasonal use. In addition, Fleet maintains a Motor Pool of ten vehicles at City Hall for citywide use and travel. Fleet also maintains and operates three fueling sites for use by over 20 separate City of Sioux Falls and Minnehaha County agencies. The City currently has (38) E-85 vehicles with six more on order for a total of (44) E-85 vehicles in its fleet!

In 2007, Fleet performed over 10,000 individual repair jobs on City-owned and operated vehicles and equipment. Fleet provided 320,000 gallons of diesel fuel and 400,000 gallons of unleaded gasoline. 17,600 gallons of E85 fuel was used by 36 City-owned vehicles that use this blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent unleaded gasoline. Fleet utilized three different formats for disposing of surplus vehicles and equipment. The annual City of Sioux Falls Auction netted Fleet $99,760. The sale of a surplus jetter/vacuum truck through a national internet based auction company, Iron Planet, provided an additional $76,000. All the proceeds from the surplus sales were returned to a Fleet reserve fund for the purchase of new equipment and vehicles.

Through attrition and retirement, Fleet hired or promoted one Equipment Repair Supervisor, two Lead Mechanics, two Service Workers and recently hired two new Mechanics. Fleet is very fortunate to have acquired such professional and well-qualified individuals.
