TO: Leonard Martin, City Manager
FROM: Carl W. Shelton, Fleet & Facilities Director
Title
Consider An Ordinance Adopting The North Central Texas Council Of Governments' Regional Transportation Council's Revised Clean Fleet Vehicle Policy.
Body
BACKGROUND:
In April of 2006 the City of Carrollton approved Ordinance Number 3063, adopting the NCTCOG RTC Clean Fleet Vehicle Policy. This policy stipulated that the City of Carrollton will follow recommended guidelines from the RTC to help lower vehicle emissions as well as conserve fuel in the D/FW Metropolitan Area. In addition to reducing emissions and conserving fuel, adoption of this policy enhanced potential grant opportunities for fleet and transportation related issues.
The RTC revised and updated the policy in late 2014 to reflect changes in vehicle and fuel emission control standards set by the State and Federal governments, as well as changes made by vehicle manufacturers. This item is a request for the adoption of the revised Clean Fleet Vehicle Policy that was approved by NCTCOG on December 14, 2014.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends that the attached ordinance be approved by City Council.
