Motor Pool Procedures

Procedure: #D200: Motor Pool

Contact Person: Adam Mekschun, Bookstore Manager

Goal: To provide, maintain and schedule a fleet of vehicles for authorized use by employees and student groups of the district

Process:

  • Several types of vehicles - automobiles, minivans and large passenger vans are available in Motor Pool’s inventory for use by full-time, part-time and contracted employees and for students which are within the scope of the employee’s job or the student’s instructional program or approved student activities. Maintenance and scheduling of the Motor Pool vehicles is done by the Bookstore.

  • Motor pool vehicles can be scheduled up to six months in advance on a first-come, first-served basis, and can also be scheduled on short notice, depending on availability.

  • A completed Motor Pool Vehicle Permit, complete with a valid chart field and approved by the proper authority, must be presented to the Truax Bookstore to use any of the Motor Pool vehicles.

  • Different rates per mile are charged (in accordance with the Department of Financial Resource’s Rate Sheet). Rates are reviewed annually and may be adjusted to keep the Motor Pool operation at a break-even status.

Limits:

  • A valid budget chart field account is required on the Motor Pool Vehicle Permit.

  • Drivers of Motor Pool vehicles must be duly licensed by the State of Wisconsin, be in possession of a regular operator’s license, and have a good driving record. Drivers’ names are maintained on a master list, which is submitted to the district’s insurer for yearly drivers’ record checks.

  • When possible, rate increases will be announced six months in advance to allow customers to adjust their budgets for the next fiscal year.

Consequences:

  • The district’s maintenance of a motor pool provides staff and students with a cost-effective alternative to using personal vehicles or contracting vans for transporting large numbers of people.
