Earlier this year, a vehicle usage study was initiated by the Sedona City Manager's office due to concerns regarding the number of City vehicles and fiscal constraints affecting the City.
As a result, the City is auctioning fifteen vehicles through publicsurplus.com over the next 21 days with the option of this time period being extended. If interested in viewing the vehicles, go to www.publicsurplus.com and search "Agency" for City of Sedona.
Decreasing the numbers of vehicles has several benefits, which includes:
· Increased parking availability to the public at City Hall.
· Reduced vehicle costs associated with maintenance (on older vehicles), insurance (number of vehicles covered) and eliminated replacement costs for vehicles not replaced. For example, the basic maintenance savings this year will be approximately $25,000.
· Prompted shared usage of vehicles within and amongst various departments.
· Increased fuel efficiency.
· Future implementation of standardized purchasing policy for new vehicle replacement.
