Councilmember Herzberg moved to reduce the vehicle fleet renewal by one vehicle (a Toyota Tacoma with about 48,000 miles), arguing the truck did not need replacement at this time. The motion was seconded and approved by council. Staff said if the vehicle is not replaced the town would increase maintenance and rebrand the vehicle as necessary rather than lease a new one.
The motion passed without recorded opposition and was folded into the broader set of first‑reading amendments. Council asked staff to plan for increased maintenance costs and to consider cosmetic work at midyear rather than an immediate replacement.
