Created in 2009, the Fleet Internal Service Fund purchases, manages, maintains and repairs all vehicles, equipment, attachments and tools for all Village departments, except for Police and Fire & Rescue. With this structure, maintenance and replacement costs are factored into a pay-per-use system for each participating Village department.

Through the pay-per-use system, the Village sets money aside for future repair and replacement needs in order to avoid borrowing to purchase equipment. The fund manages 131 vehicles and pieces of equipment, 66 attachments to the equipment and 252 tools (such as chain saws, pumps, and items valued at over $250).

During 2015, the Fleet Internal Service Fund increased rates charged to Village departments by 2% in order to cover increasing costs. The Fleet Internal Service Fund has not increased rates since its creation in 2009.

To date, the Fleet Internal Service Fund has performed well and built a solid base of funds to purchase vehicle replacements. The fund has also helped the Village to better estimate the number of hours spent maintaining the fleet. A majority of equipment and vehicle maintenance is performed in-house by two full-time and one part-time mechanic.

During 2015, the Fleet Internal Service Fund has plans to purchase: a single axle service truck; replacement pick up trucks; a Therapeutic Recreation bus (if grant funding is received); a replacement van; two side-loading garbage trucks; a used fork lift; a replacement zero-turn mower; an additional leaf vacuum; a used Bobcat; a side mounted road mower; and a vehicle code reader. The Fleet Internal Service Fund will make the 2015 purchases without incurring any debt.
