Safety training should be <br />increased. There is no clear tracking system and reporting. <br />As to Operations: The City's vehicles were ten years old and <br />considered old by industry standards where vehicles are not kept <br />beyond seven years. The City's oldest vehicle dates back to 1979. <br />SEP 1 11995 <br />
