FY 2021‐22 Top Accomplishments Goals & Measures

 Completed the first two residential Bond Program Streets (North Hills and Nor'East) on time and under budget.

 Released the first Major Bond Program Street (Bedford‐Euless Rd) for bidding, while finalizing engineering design
on three additional arterial or major collector roadways (Glenview East & West, Iron Horse East)

 Completed a major 24" wastewater main rehabilitation using largely trenchless technology. Staff was able to
realize significant savings through scope reduction due to coordination with the City of Fort Worth.

 Maintained a high level of customer service and sustained core operations despite significant staff shortages (up to
20% division vacancy).

 Savings due to efficiency in the annual Preventive Street Maintenance Program provided opportunity to expand
the scope of overlay projects. The most visible of these "extra" projects was the overlay of Amundson Road
performed in February 2022.
