Treñas re-issues regulations for government-owned vehicles
Mayor Jerry P. Treñas recently re-issued a memorandum order (MO) on the use of government-owned vehicles for proper guidance of all city officials and drivers.
The first MO was issued last June 6, 2005 and was directed to all department heads and chiefs of offices with issued vehicles.
In his latest order (memorandum number 511-07), Treñas stated that all vehicles should be parked at the city's motor pool in Gen. Luna or at the Old COA building parking lot in J.M. Basa by Friday afternoon. The assigned drivers can get it every Mondays and shall strictly use it for official business.
"I would like to remind all government employees that the use of government-issued vehicles for private appointments is strictly prohibited," Treñas stated.
All drivers should also have the necessary papers like trip tickets when using assigned vehicles or seek an approval from the mayor when going on special assignments.
Another memo (MO number 514-07) was also released today, stating that the use of government automobiles on weekends is strictly prohibited unless on official function and that all vehicles should conspicuously display the name and logo of the city government.
The mayor also mentioned that failure to obey the MO will be penalized through withdrawal of the gasoline allowance allocated for the vehicle.
