What: Review of the city's 320 vehicles, its maintenance software and whether city hall departments should share a motor pool.
Where it stands: An analyst reported options on August 31, 2026; no decision. The mayor will consult employees first, and councilors tied the question to the planned new city garage and to budget planning.
