Smooth Out Elmhurst Vehicle Spending: Aldermen

ELMHURST, IL – A couple of Elmhurst aldermen are requesting to smooth out spending on new vehicles, rather than ride a fiscal roller coaster.

In a memo this week, aldermen Noel Talluto and Mike Brennan said each department develops plans for spending on vehicles.

But they said the city has no formalized central planning across departments for vehicles.

They suggested a separate fleet replacement account as a possible solution to smoothing out the costs.

They are asking the City Council's finance committee to look at ways to improve the process. The council plans to vote on the request Monday.
