Body
BACKGROUND:
The FY2018-19 Fixed Asset Fund for vehicle/equipment replacement includes the replacement of the Justice Center generator. The generator is 28 years old, which meets the recommended generator replacement criteria to ensure future generator reliability during outages and supports Critical Business Outcome - Plan for, build, and maintain high quality public assets.
