About the Engineering Division

The Engineering Division oversees the construction of the City’s public infrastructure, maintains records, financial guarantees and maps, administers grants, and annually updates and implements the City's Capital Improvement Program. The Division prepares proposals, specifications and construction contracts for City Council’s approval. The Division inspects all public and many private infrastructure improvements including drainage, streets, water and sewers. The Division commonly contracts for the design and construction of new infrastructure or reviews the installation of capital facilities paid for by private parties.

The Engineering Division also works with other City Departments on issues such as drainage, annexations and reviews all new large scale development in the City. The Engineering Division enforces watershed development, isolated wetland ordinances and the land development code. The City Engineer reviews all watershed development applications and issues permits for those projects that comply with the provisions of the ordinances. In addition the Division seeks to find engineering solutions to past problems such as localized flooding, inadequate utilities or transportation congestion and safety.
