As PUBLIC BUILDINGS age, they will require more and more maintenance. In order to
minimize emergency repairs and major failures, it is important to plan ahead to replace major
system components on a life-cycle basis. Improvements will be made to aging facilities which
may include the Public Works Service Center, the Senior Center and the Fire Station Annex.
In response to state-mandated energy reduction goals, energy conservation programs should
be evaluated.

In an effort to maximize the efficient use of resources, the City entered into an agreement
with Enterprise Fleet Management (EFM) for FLEET MANAGEMENT services. The services
include procurement, disposal, and vehicle maintenance. This partmership is critical to
maintain overall fleet health, reduce repair costs, and increase fleet availability rates.
Additionally, Fleet Services will continually evaluate needs to ensure appropriate and
adequate equipment is in place. Interdepartmental equipment sharing will be encouraged with
the goal of reducing fleet size. Evaluative measures will assess the costs and benefits of
ownership versus short-term rental of equipment.

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.
