DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND GOALS
The Development Services Department’s mission is to work together to build thriving neighborhoods and an
equitable community by helping people make sound decisions to create safe, orderly, and sustainable
development. Our vision is to collaborate with the development and community stakeholders to guide growth
through innovative, inclusive, and accountable relationships and provide an exemplary customer experience. The
Department currently has five divisions.

The Customer Care Division is responsible for human resources and customer service, which includes a call
center and permit intake. It also oversees contract management, which coordinates administrative requirements
for developer-led installation of public and private infrastructure (roads, water lines, sanitary and storm sewers,
stormwater controls, and signage, in addition to certain real property contracts).
