Issue: The Community Action Agency Self-Help Center Program has a dire need to replace the vehicles in their fleet. The existing vehicles pose a safety risk and are not economically feasible to keep operational. The Self-Help Center plans to expand its services and is in need of safe and reliable vehicles to carry out its day to day operations. The vehicles to be replaced are 16-19 years old.

Solution: Authorize the vehicles to be replaced with leased vehicles.

Result: Self Help Center will be able to carry out day- to-day operations safely.

Background:

Self-Help Center vehicles are 16-19 years old and no longer safe to drive and repair costs are no longer feasible. Some vehicles have not yet reached the 90,000 mile requirement due to the poor condition and age of the vehicles.
