Engineering

The Engineering Division of Public Works ensures that all city infrastructure is developed and operated according to appropriate codes and standards. The department plans improvements of streets, water and sewer utilities, parks, and other public facilities. View the city's current Street Maintenance and Capital Plan.

Engineering personnel also coordinate closely with Planning Services to ensure that developers construct improvements in compliance with the city standards. Infrastructure improvements are reviewed for proper design and are inspected following construction.
