Item 200 - Performance Audit of the City’s Fleet Maintenance

The Fleet Operations Division (Fleet) manages the maintenance and repairs of about 4,900 vehicles and motorized equipment with an estimated total replacement value of $437 million. The City budgeted $46 million for fleet maintenance in fiscal year (FY) 2025. Though the Fleet provides the maintenance, departments are responsible for bringing vehicles into Fleet garages for maintenance and inspections. Timely maintenance and inspection of vehicles is an important mechanism to enhance equipment life, ensure cost-effectiveness, and minimize risks to safety for City operators and the public.

The Office of the City Auditor conducted a performance audit to determine:

• If the City vehicles are being serviced according to Fleet Operations Division’s established preventive maintenance schedules
• How timely vehicles are being returned to City departments after preventive maintenance

This is an information item.

Item 201 - Performance Audit of the City’s Contract Management

The City of San Diego (City) spends hundreds of millions of dollars annually on goods and services contracts to provide critical City services. The San Diego Municipal Code (SDMC) requires City Council to review and approve some larger value changes to those contracts to ensure public oversight and transparency in the use of taxpayer dollars.

The Office of the City Auditor conducted a performance audit to determine whether the City appropriately extended or increased the value of goods and services contracts in accordance with the SDMC and best practices.
