The five passenger Mitsubishi pickups were displayed in the patio of Mazatlán’s municipal hall yesterday.
The municipal Committee of Purchases and Acquisitions has purchased seven new vehicles destined for the directors of seven municipal departments.
The five passenger Mitsubishi pickups were displayed in the patio of Mazatlán´s municipal hall yesterday, each 4 cylinder vehicle with modern turbo diesel technology and 4×4 capabilities.
Official Mayor Salvador Reynosa Garzón, president of the purchases and acquisitions committee, stated the vehicles were purchased from a local dealer at a cost of 340,000 pesos each. At the same time, the committee purchased 16 new motorcycles. The total cost of the pickups and motorcycles amounted to 2,860,000 pesos.
Reynosa Garzón explained that during recent rainstorms the committee evaluated the municipality´s ability to reach areas difficult to access for evacuation and monitoring during emergency situations. They concluded they did not have vehicles large enough or in good enough condition to meet the requirements.
The second justification for the expense, said Reynosa Garzón, is that in the first four months of this year the municipality spent 10 million pesos on repairs for its aging fleet of vehicles.
The newly purchased pickups are destined for the directors of Public Works, Public Services, Treasury, Municipal Secretary, Urban Social Services, Rural Social Services, and Reynosa Garzón of the office of the Official Mayor.
Of the motorcycles, 11 will be distributed to the Department of Planning and the remaining five to the Health department.
