Staff:

The Fleet Management Department is responsible for the maintenance of all county vehicles and equipment. This would include everything from the trucks the building inspectors drive, the equipment you see out at the Baseline Landfill, the trucks used to maintain our roads and right of ways.

Fleet Management is also in charge of the purchasing of all county vehicles and equipment. When the vehicles get to the point where they need to be replaced, the fleet department looks up the state contracts for vehicles and purchases the appropriate replacements. The surplus vehicles are then put into a holding area, where they are then shipped to a local auction company. We also help support other departments with special needs like welding on many items like the Sharps Ferry Bridge.
