The mission of the Public Works Department is to enhance community order, health, safety, and aesthetics through proper administration and good management of the review, design, construction, and maintenance of the Village’s infrastructure. The Department is committed to the improvement and enhancement of the environment through the use of storm water management techniques that promote water quality, through a continued commitment to an active forestry program, and through the establishment of solid waste programs that promote environmentally sensitive alternatives such as recycling and composting.
The Village’s Public Works Department is responsible for maintaining a safe and reliable infrastructure and providing quality services to Village residents and businesses. Public Works differs from other departments in that services provided include several enterprise activities. Each enterprise activity has its own accounting fund and from an accounting standpoint, operates in a similar fashion to a private sector entity. The Department is funded through a combination of general governmental, enterprise, and internal service funds. |
