5 Year Outlook

Public Works touches the life of every citizen every day. Safe water and sanitation are critical
for public health. Adequate roads promote commerce, economic vitality and mobility. Public
buildings house City services and social gatherings for the community. The City fleet enables
public servants to complete their missions. Flood and drainage structures protect properties
from damage. Citizens rely on the services of the Public Works Department to enhance their
quality of life on a daily basis.

A systematic program to inspect drainage system infrastructure will be implemented so that
deficiencies can be identified and long-term plans for major renewal and replacement of our
STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE can be developed. The Stormwater Master Plan will be
updated and the storm drainage fee structure will be reviewed and possibly revised to provide
funding for needed stormwater improvements. Utilizing the latest technology will ensure safe
and reliable operation of automated flood gates and flood warning systems.

Public awareness and education concerning the mission and functions of the department,
including infrastructure management and resource constraints, will be an ongoing priority of
the department throughout the upcoming years. Efforts to improve the accuracy of our GIS
datasets and utilizing this information in VUEWorks is critical in ensuring we know each asset
we own, where it is, what condition it is in, and what maintenance we’ve performed on it.
Opportunities to improve and document policies, procedures and practices will increase
effectiveness and organizational sustainability. Long-term planning is critical for the future
health of Colleyville’s infrastructure systems and continuation of essential service delivery and
completion of asset inventories and planning for condition assessments are key components
in this process. Public Works staff will continue to evaluate performance and activity measures
for accuracy and relevance, focusing on aligning measures with City Council’s identified
standards of Integrity, Commitment, Excellence, and Transparency. Additionally, training
needs will be identified and addressed to further develop a committed team to successfully
build and maintain the public infrastructure well into the future.
