SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL 2 6. Is the City still leasing vehicles? A. Yes, the City is still leasing vehicles. The City started leasing vehicles several years ago due to insufficient funding for vehicle replacement, which has allowed the City to acquire vehicles when deemed immediately necessary (e.g., to meet CARB requirements, etc.) As financially feasible, the City is purchasing many of the vehicles when the lease terms end.
