Fleet Division

What We Do

The Fleet Division handles maintenance, fuel dispensing and replacement services for all vehicles and equipment serviced by the City. The City fleet consists of approximately 550 vehicles. In addition to sedans and pickups, repair and maintenance is also done on heavy equipment, fire trucks, police cars and lawn equipment for our parks, and golf courses. The Fleet Manager keeps a regular maintenance schedule. The Fleet Division coordinates the bidding and purchase of new vehicles and equipment.  To contact the Fleet Manager, Doug Alm call 406-771-1401, Ext 8130.

Who We Are

The Fleet Division employs 10 full time employees.   The Fleet Manager oversees the maintenance schedule, monitors fuel supplies and inventory, helps to oversee equipment purchases, and manages day to day operations. The Superintendent directs the daily schedule and with the help of five other mechanics they see to all the regular maintenance and repairs. A full time Auto Service worker tends to the tire repairs and the preventative maintenance on the police cars. The Fleet Storekeeper is responsible for maintaining the parts inventory and filling mechanics parts requests so there is never a wait on repairs.

 A Small Division with a Big Impact

Though you will probably never see them, the Fleet Division is very important to every department in the City. When that sanitation truck is out there removing that unsightly mess, the fire truck or police car is responding to that emergency call, or some other piece of equipment is being used to repair the roads or water mains, at one point in time the Fleet Division did their part to help provide those services to our community in a safe and efficient matter.
