One of the City’s primary functions is service delivery. The following information provides a brief narrative of each department

Asset Management includes Building Design and Construction, Facility Services, Fleet Services and Solid Waste & Recycling.
AM is responsible for assets owned and controlled by the City, including libraries, recreation centers, public safety facilities and
sanitary landfill. AM works in partnership with departments to ensure effective stewardship of assets to deliver services. AM also
oversees revenue collection for two landfill contracts and the garbage and
recycling franchise agreement.
