Currently, the Public Works Director is responsible for all Capital Projects from inception to completion. With the development of this past year's Capital Improvement Plan, which forecasted projects out in detail for the next five years, and the continued ongoing assessments of our aging City facilities and assets, it has become clear that the amount of projects in front of us supports the demand for this position. Fulfillment of this position will allow the Public Works Department to better serve the City by allowing for projects to be released and finished more quickly. The construction season is relatively short, and the number of projects that would need to be ongoing at the same time has proven to be too much for one individual to manage effectively. The City Council should also be aware this position is intended to be funded directly by the projects themselves. An additional appropriation of funds to the Public Works Administration is not anticipated to be required at this time to cover this position. Council's support is respectively requested, and I am available to answer any questions Council may have.
