The Wastewater, Streets, and Water Departments fall under the immediate responsibility of the Engineering and Public Works Department. All other departments report directly to the City Manager.
Each year operating and capital improvement goals are established for each of the departments. Resources are approved within the budget to accomplish the goals as agreed upon. Special objectives identified during the fiscal year are assigned to departments based on expertise and available resources. Priorities are changed where necessary. Progress is tracked during the fiscal year and evaluated at the end of the fiscal year. Most projects are managed on a team basis in order to take advantage of individual skills and spread workload.
