Most all departments within the City of Jamestown rely on vehicles or equipment in order to carry out their core services. After personnel, it is perhaps the most essential and valuable city asset. Therefore, it is my goal to ensure that these assets are managed in the most efficient manner and that all city departments are provided with the best customer service possible. In turn, departments can then provide the best possible service to all city residents. Fleet Services employs eight experienced and very talented technicians on two shifts that can diagnose, repair, and fabricate just about anything. It is our goal to keep the City of Jamestown departments moving efficiently and safely.
