| | | Issue Statement: The City contracts with Verizon Connect, previously known as Networkfleet, Inc. for vehicle monitoring/tracking systems since January 1, 2010 via contract number GS-07F-5559R. To date, tracking has been installed in 123 vehicles in the City fleet to allow for around-the-clock tracking, utilizing the providers global positioning system network.

| | | | | | | | | 2. | CURRENT ACTIVITY

The City then uses the data to pinpoint problem areas and take corrective actions to minimize safety risks and vehicle depreciation. All time stamps and history are stored for future reference should additional need arise. Department Directors also receive reporting on vehicle usage and locations for monitoring.
