The County purchased the following new and replacement in 2021, among other purchases necessary for delivering services: • 10 pickup trucks; • 1 tandem plow truck; • Artificial turf maintenance equipment; • 2 lawn mowers; • 2 high-volume water pumps for flood control; • 2 motor graders; • 2 equipment trailers; • 1 landfill compactor; • 1 utility terrain vehicle; • 1 ride-on floor scrubber; and • Miscellaneous attachments and shop equipment. Fleet Services assisted with tendering and procurement of new Fire Services and Community Peace Officer vehicles. Surplus equipment and miscellaneous items have been listed on the www.govdeals.ca online auction site, allowing the County to list items no longer needed throughout the year, rather than all at once in an in-person auction. Mitchener Allen Auction was used for larger pieces of equipment. The final phase of the County Centre repair shop addition was completed in November, which allows staff to complete more equipment and vehicle repairs in house. The addition houses tool and equipment storage rooms, a small shop, a shipping and receiving area, locker rooms, and a large meeting room. The department continues to work with local schools to provide placement for work experience and Registered Apprentice Program (RAP) students. Lac La Biche County | 2021 Year in Review
