Township Controls Use of Official Vehicles (El Vigia, 12/26/12 by Gerardo Sanchez)
Ensenada, BC - Ensenada municipal government is maintaining strict control of official vehicles to assure they are only used during official hours and for authorized activities, said Alfredo Cortés Castro, Director of Heritage Assets.
He pointed out the municipal vehicle fleet has more than 800 units, which encompass all types of vehicles; those that are active, under repair or in process of being dismantled because they are no longer in working condition. The units are distributed among different agencies, both in urban areas and the different municipal delegations.
He indicated that only top-level officials can use their vehicles 24-hours a day, based on the characteristics of their activities and when the situation is exceptional. There are very specific restrictions on schedules and activities in which a vehicle can be used, as well as the method of sheltering the vehicle and who authorizes the use. All this must be recorded in a logbook and control is the responsibility of respective department heads, said the official. http://www.elvigia.net/noticia/controla-municipio-unidades-oficiales
