Welcome to the City Engineering Division

The  benefits to the community from the City Engineering Office may seem invisible to the average citizen.  City engineers develop and implement water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities master plans to ensure short- and long-term public infrastructure needs are being addressed as the community expands and grows.  They establish standards for the construction and maintenance of the City's Infrastructure.

City engineers monitor projects to ensure compliance with City, County, State and Federal rules, regulations, codes, and engineering standards.  By preparing, reviewing, and overseeing plans and designs, engineers provide technical assistance to developers during the planning process.  They inspect construction and manage public works projects.  These projects included sanitary and storm sewers, water distribution, water and wastewater treatment, solid waste management, streets, and traffic control.

City engineers work with City planners to review all proposed subdivisions, annexations, and zone code proposals and coordinate infrastructure projects with County, State, and Federal agencies.  They administer the Environmental Protection Agency Wastewater Pretreatment program and the City's flood plain ordinance.  Installation of new city sidewalks, repairs to existing sidewalks enforcement of the sidewalk snow removal program, weed control, and traffic studies are administered by City engineers.

An extensive collection of maps, aerial photos, record drawings, plats, property ownership, and other infrastructure records are maintained in the City Engineer's Office.
