Who runs it
AI-read · unreviewed read by a model from the city's pages, the Charter, the code and the budget books; every quote checked against its saved source; not reviewed by a person. Hover a source for its words.Researcher's note: Director and deputy director are from the April 9, 2026 council study session memo (Laserfiche 200096). The radio division is moving to a new Motorola radio system at the end of 2026 (2026 budget). The about page's Fleet Services text (eight mechanics, 508 vehicles) and the Fleet FAQ (10 staff, 441 vehicles) are older than the budget book figures; the budget figures are used.

Boards and commissions it staffs
not applicable: No board or commission names this department as its staff. Checked: the staff_liaison of every body file in governance/bodies/ (none names Facilities & Fleet), and the department's home, /about, /services-programs and /projects pages and its Fleet Services FAQ (on 2026-10-30), none of which names a board it supports. The Fleet FAQ's old 'cross-departmental advisory committee' is an internal staff group, not a city board.
