Public Works staff says fleet maintains more than 250 pieces of equipment

A Public Works staff member said the village fleet section is responsible for more than 250 pieces of equipment, including vehicles, generators, small items such as track hose and large machines such as end loaders, as well as “all of our police and fire squads that report to emergencies.”

The staff member described the fleet’s role in broader municipal services, saying that “Village services touch everyone in the community, and the public works fleet section helps keep all of that moving.” The presentation framed the fleet as an essential operational unit that supports everyday services and emergency response.

The speaker closed with the department’s motto: “Rooted in service, powered by community. We are public works.” No formal actions, votes, or requests for follow-up were recorded in the transcript.
