Fuel Efficiency To Be A Consideration In Purchase Of City Vehicles

The Common Council unanimously passed a resolution which it hoped would save costs for the city, and reduce pollution.

The full text of the resolution is as follows:
WHEREAS, the current CNR has vehicles listed to be purchased at a future date and the City is concerned about costs for fuel and the environment.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIDDLETOWN: That all future vehicle purchases shall be approved by the Finance and Government Operations Committee who will review the efficiency of the vehicles before purchasing.
Council members agreed that most city vehicles did not need to be large SUVs.
