The Public Works Department is responsible for overseeing a variety of City Projects. These projects can generally be divided into two categories: Capital Projects and Maintenance Projects.

Capital Projects generally exceed $30k in value and are prioritized by the City Council annually. Upon adoption, these capital projects create the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Click the project category below or scroll down for a list of this year’s projects. You can also find more information in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) document - after downloading, search by project title or project number (noted below in parentheses after each project title).

Maintenance Projects generally cost less than $30k and focus on mitigating hazards and maintaining the City’s existing infrastructure.
