PUBLIC WORKS AT A GLANCE

Budget Summary

Public Works divisions in the General Fund include Engineering and Street Maintenance/Traffic
Management. Environmental Services and Water/Sewer Utilities are also in the Public Works
Department, and details can be found in the Enterprise Funds section of the budget document.

The Public Works Department oversees all City infrastructure construction and maintains the City’s
roadways and drainage infrastructure. The Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) positions in this department are
budgeted on an allocation basis among the General Fund, Street Construction Fund, Utility Construction
Fund, and Environmental Services Fund.

The General Fund Public Works budget increased 12.49% in FY 2024-2025. The primary increase was in
Street Maintenance/Traffic Management. In response to a Citizen Survey conducted in FY 2020-2021 and
continuing emphasis on relieving traffic congestion, the City Manager recommended that City Council
continue to increase the Street Maintenance budget to address street conditions and traffic flow. City
Council approved a funding increase as well as one full-time equivalent position for a Signal Technician
during the budget approval process.

The Engineering Division’s budget increased with the addition of three Capital Projects Engineers,
although only 10% of the personnel costs will be incurred in the General Fund.
