Fleet replacement strategy amid cost increases and supply chain delays

Summary
New snow plow equipment now costs more and takes 20-24 months to build. The city is shifting to buying two chassis up front and paying for snow packages later to protect its fleet replacement schedule and keep snow removal reliable.

Impact analysis
About $52,800 gets carried forward, but the 2027 Equipment Replacement Fund needs a $15,000 bump to cover $7,500-per-unit cost overruns.
Residents benefit from a reliable snow plow and public works fleet without a sudden budget hit.
