Six pickups, an electric golf cart, and a garbage and sewer truck are some of the 17 vehicles on the $800,000 wish list for replacement in the city's fleet.

The list includes down sizing some replacements and adding others that are more energy-efficient.

Staff is asking for less than a third of the 56 vehicles slated for replacement this year at Thursday's city commission meeting. Some of the 17 have been deferred from previous years. 

Randy Moore, city division director of fleet services, wrote to the city purchasing agent:

Every unit on this list is critical to operations. Only vehicles with excessive usage were considered; high life to date maintenance costs (parts and labor), structural fatigue, high down-time and functionality were all considerations for developing this list. The need for each of the requested units was carefully examined and only the worst of the worst made this cut.

Staff said with the new purchases, they looked to "down-size" and find the "most fuel-efficient" replacement. They want to replace a handful of 10- to 12-year-old pickup trucks with ones that have ECO Boost high-efficiency engines, a nearly 10-year-old pickup with a $7,000 electric golf cart and a garbage truck with an extra six cubic yards of space, which would save fuel and tire wear in trips to the dump. 

Here are the vehicles up for replacement:
