Jose Gallardo was named the fleet manager for the City of Concord, Calif., starting his new position Dec. 4, 2017. The previous fleet manager, Jeff Roubal, retired.
As fleet manager, Gallardo is responsible for managing the vehicle and mobile equipment needs of all city departments and divisions. The Concord fleet consists of 270 powered vehicles, four staff members, and one maintenance facility. Vehicles range from police cars to admin vehicles to public works vehicles such as sewer trucks.
