Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 1 - EXECUTIVE ORDERS › Section 1:2020-4

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
Executive Order 2020-4
Automobiles, trucks, and similar vehicles are understandably
			 vital and necessary assets to the performance of government functions within
			 our State. However, it has been brought to my attention that the State of
			 Oklahoma owns perhaps in excess of 9,000 such vehicles, and it is probable that
			 more than a few are under-utilized and not necessary in order for the State to
			 perform its services to the citizens of the State.
Therefore, in order to have all the facts necessary in order to
			 make an informed decision regarding the State's necessary vehicle fleet, I, J.
			 Kevin Stitt, Governor of the State of Oklahoma, by the authority vested in me
			 pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution, hereby
			 direct and order as follows:
1. The
		  administrative head of every "state agency," as that term is defined in 61 O.S.
		  § 327(A) 
		  1, shall, no later than March 31, 2020,
		  report to John Budd, Chief Operating Officer of the State of Oklahoma and to
		  the office of Fleet Management in the Office of Management and Enterprise
		  Services (OMES) (such report to be emailed to both parties at
		  fleet.system@omes.ok.gov) the make, model, year, and VIN of any owned vehicle
		  under the control of the state agency with less than 4,800 miles of usage in
		  calendar year 2019. Special purpose vehicles, such as winter storm salt trucks,
		  are excluded from this reporting requirement. Moreover, this directive only
		  applies to those state agencies that are not already complying with the terms
		  of this Executive Order.
2. For
		  each of the vehicles listed in the report mandated by paragraph 1 above, the
		  report shall also set forth the frequency of use, the purpose of the vehicle,
		  and the mileage driven for calendar year 2019. OMES Fleet Division is hereby
		  directed to develop and provide a template to each state agency as soon as
		  reasonably practicable to permit them to document the information required by
		  paragraphs 1 and 2 hereof in a consistent manner no later than March 31,
		  2020.
3. In order to more
		  accurately track the use of all State vehicles, the administrative head of
		  every "state agency" (as defined above) will take all necessary actions to
		  insure that all vehicles owned by the State and under the control of the state
		  agency have been scheduled with OMES Fleet Management, no later than March 31,
		  2020, to be equipped with an automatic vehicle locator (AVL) and placed on the
		  Fleet Management M5 System. To schedule the installation of the AVL and to
		  schedule implementation of the M5 System, agency heads should contact OMES
		  Fleet Management at fleet.system@omes.ok.gov. Any exception to this process
		  must be approved by the Director of OMES.
This Executive Order shall be distributed to all members of the
			 Governor's Executive Cabinet and the administrative heads and chief executives
			 of all state agencies, who shall cause the provisions of this Order to be
			 implemented forthwith.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand and caused the Great Seal
			 of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, this 11th
			 day of February, 2020.
