The Moffat County Board of County Commissioners voted Nov. 26 to amend county purchasing and asset policies to support a fleet-leasing program intended to lower vehicle procurement costs.
County staff explained the program shifts from purchasing to leasing vehicles through a fleet partner (Enterprise) with an option to buy vehicles at the end of a five-year term and the ability to order vehicles to county specifications. A staff member said the approach allows the county to leverage Enterprise’s buying power and resale knowledge, limit warranty issues and reduce staff hours spent on procurement.
The presenter estimated rough annual savings of about $30,000 on the sheriff’s fleet and said the county can still use local dealerships and perform in-house upfits. The board moved and approved a single consolidated motion adopting three related resolutions amending financial policies, capital improvement policies and fixed-asset policy language to accommodate the fleet program.
The resolutions were approved on a motion, and staff said the county will evaluate the program’s first-year results before expanding it to other departments.
