Department of Public Works

The Department of Public Works coordinates with City staff, elected officials and the public in planning, developing, constructing and maintaining the Streets and Airport infrastructure. The Public Works Administration's goal is to develop and implement a responsible road surface management program in order to provide reliable services to its citizens and visitors. These services include streets and alleys maintenance and/or construction, functional storm water system and drain ditch maintenance, sidewalk and street lighting programs. Additionally, the department additionally procures required right-of-way for proposed improvements and reviews the dedication of appropriate streets and drainage right-of-way for new residential, commercial and industrial developments.
