Category: Vehicle Repair & Replacement
Contact: Chief Gabrenya
This category is reserved for vehicle repairs and replacements. All vehicles at the District are
evaluated based on function and recognized NFPA safety standards to determine replacement
schedules. These repairs and replacements are then incorporated accordingly into the District’s
CIP to maintain fiscally responsible budgeting practices. Because most repairs are unanticipated,
expenditures included in this CIP are primarily for re-fittings. In FY27, the District anticipates
major expenses as it procures a new tower ladder, and reserves will be built up for that purchase
to ensure fiscal responsibility. Additionally, 2 engines are scheduled to be replaced in 2031,
marking another significant expense in this category. Full replacement schedules can be viewed
on pages 158-159.
Justification:
In order to remain in compliance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards,
staff budgets vehicle replacements to align with front-line & retirement schedules. 4 Promoting
proper vehicle repair and replacement allows the District to align with high and medium priority
strategic goals: Long-term Financial Sustainability -> rolling 5-year financial plan developed
annually (medium), Operate a Well-Maintained Sustainable Fleet (high).

Budget Impact/Other:
Like with equipment, budget impact from vehicle expenditures can be divided into two
categories: 1) new vehicle and 2) replacement/re-fitted vehicle. When the District is procuring a
new vehicle in the Vehicle Fund to assist with service delivery, there is an anticipated increase in
expenditures. This increase takes into account the potential of staffing changes (e.g., additional
ambulance), maintenance costs, storage costs, and fuel costs. Most frequently, increased
expenditures in this category occur immediately for storage and fuel, while required maintenance
