The motor pool uses two sedans, each costing $ 25,000 and each estimated to have a 5- year life when they were acquired in 2012.
Driver salaries
The motor pool has a driver administrator, who earns $ 45,000 a year, and a driver, who earns $ 35,000. The city uses a rate of 30 percent (to cover pensions and other payroll fringe benefits) for planning purposes.
Insurance
In 2012 the city purchased a 3 year automobile accident policy at a cost of $ 3,000.
Fuel and maintenance costs
Based on experience, the driver administrator estimates that total fuel and maintenance costs for the year will be $ 5,000.
Billing units
To simplify record keeping, the fund charges a fixed price per trip. Yorktown budget office estimates that 800 trips will be taken in 2013.
