I. SUMMARY
The Department of Public Works is charged with providing the community with a safe, clean and healthy environment through the design, construction, operation, maintenance and management of the vital municipal infrastructure system.
The Engineering Division is responsible for the design, coordination and construction of capital projects located within the public right of way. This Division reviews conditions and inspects development-related projects to ensure utilization of sound engineering principles. This Division also provides a safe and efficient network to accommodate the simultaneous movement of vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles throughout the City. Engineering also monitors the City’s implementation of sustainability initiatives and compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).
The Operations Division is responsible for the maintenance, repair and alteration of the municipal facilities, parks, medians, parkway trees, streets, sidewalks and fleet.
At any given time there are several projects in varying stages of implementation, and in order to keep the City Council apprised of the most significant activities, a map and status sheet will be provided on a regular basis as requested during the February 18, 2020 meeting.
