We requested your assistance, within at leLst 30 days, in further reviewing this matter. Your aide, on September 16, 1976, transmitted to me a memorandum O lo from tne Director, Department of Human Resources (DHL) to you, request- ing extension to September 30, 1976, for formally responding to our letter, Becauop of the reporting deidline of September 21, 1976, imposed on us, we must issue the report without such response. We believe that the matters included in our letter to you and reiterated in this report should be dealt with so -hat expensive idle medical equipment can be placed into service. You may wish to include your comments on qur August 13, 1976, letter with your comments on this report. We have been studying the District's motor vehiclh management activities to Jetermine how effectively and econoically the city acquires and maintains its vehicles. During our study, which is not yet complete, we noted that in June 1974 DAR acquired two ambulances for use in iLs maternity-iufant rare project. They were received in April and May of 1975 respectively but, accordiig to project staff and the mileage on the vehicles' odomcoters, they have been used vfry little.
