News and politics for the city of Jacksonville (FL), Florida, and the United States. Though I am a Libertarian/Socialist, my hope is to be as objective as possible in delivering news that should be important to you. In addition, this website can be useful for researching important moments in history. From the dawn of civilization to the present day, this website provides a plethora of valuable links for your research needs.
The city's Fleet Management Division is budgeted to spend $20.9 million this year fueling cars, trucks and other vehicles in the city's 5,600-piece inventory of motorized equipment.
That's 52 percent of the $39.6 million yearly budget for Fleet Management, which charges to maintain and repair vehicles owned by the city and by outside agencies that contract for similar services.
The division's budget has risen $6.7 million since 2009, about $6.1 million of that because of higher spending on fuel, according to data Reed circulated to the committee.
