Fleet Maintenance

The shop crew at the Public Works Department is not only responsible for the over trucks and heavy equipment used to maintain our network of roads, but also the fleet of almost 50 vehicles used by other county services such as the Assessor, Health and Human Services and the Sheriff's Department.
