City Council Meeting · 2026-04-28 · agenda_item

The City of Melbourne is planning to apply for a grant to fund the replacement of diesel emission trucks. This initiative is part of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Volkswagen Settlement Diesel Emission Mitigation Program. The grant specifically targets Class 8 Municipal Service Trucks and Port Drayage Trucks. The city is currently in the planning phase, seeking authorization for the City Manager to submit the grant application. If approved, this project could lead to the procurement of new, cleaner trucks, potentially involving site preparation for new vehicles, and the disposal or trade-in of older equipment. Businesses involved in vehicle supply, maintenance, and related services may find future opportunities as this project moves forward. Early engagement with city officials could provide insight into specific needs and timelines.
