ABOUT US
The Public Works Department’s purpose is to develop and maintain the City’s infrastructure, buildings, grounds, and vehicular equipment, and provide specialized community services, such as tree care, recycling service, and parking management. Public Works operates in partnership with the community to develop and maintain its publicly-owned physical assets.
The Department is comprised of a Director who provides direction for three divisions:
