A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE TRANSFER OF COMPLETED
PROJECT FUNDING TO EXPEDITED APPROVED FLEET
REPLACEMENTS
WHEREAS, in September 2020 the City Council adopted Resolution R-11159,
which includes the goal of community-wide carbon neutrality by 2035 and municipal
operations by 2030; and
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted the “Lead by Example” plan, which includes
the goal that the City eliminates fossil fuel in vehicles and equipment; and
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted the 2023-25 Financial Plan that includes the
recommended fleet replacements within the five-year capital plan; and
WHEREAS, on January 29, 2024, four new Ford Lightnings vehicles were
erroneously shipped to the City by a dealership from which the City regularly purchases
vehicles, and while these vehicles are not required to be purchased by the City, due to
recent procurement challenges of electric vehicles, staff is recommending purchasing
these vehicles at this time; and
WHEREAS, the City issued a purchase order for one of the four new Ford
Lightening vehicles as authorized in the adopted 2023-25 Financial Plan; and
WHEREAS, replacement of the three additional vehicles will reduce replacement
costs, decrease required maintenance and reduce the City’s carbon footprint; and
WHEREAS, maintaining the City’s fleet is essential to operating programs that
ensure the City of San Luis Obispo’s residents are healthy and safe.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo
as follows:
