From County Commissioner Steven L. Abrams

He posted this announcement on FaceBook this morning about maintenance of the Palm Beach County vehicle fleet and it caught my eye:

An outsourcing success story:
In 2012 the County outsourced the auto parts function of fleet maintenance to NAPA. Well, at the BCC meeting yesterday, the Board renewed the contract through 2019. Taxpayers are saving upwards of $400,000/year. And because in-stock parts availability has gone up from 66 to 80%, fleet downtime has decreased, meaning better productivity. See, outsourcing isn't always such a bad word!
