A high quality of life is achieved for citizens by providing safe, reliable, and available vehicles/resources. The fleet maintained by the Village staff consists of over 254 pieces of equipment that the Village utilizes daily in carrying out the important services to the community, including police and snow and ice control. The variety of vehicles used requires highly trained fleet personnel, who, besides being technicians, develop preventative maintenance programs and do research before purchasing a vehicle to assure that it is the appropriate piece of equipment for the particular job.
