building permits, building inspections, fire inspections and other
regulatory activities.
The Engineering Department performs all engineering and technical services
for city departments, including design work and contract administration
for streets, bridges, sidewalks, drainage and other public works projects.
The largest of the contract categories is the city's street paving
program, which has repaved more than 600 miles of the city's streets
since 1988.
The Public Service Department enforces neighborhood codes, provides street
maintenace, and maintains brush and leaf collection, as well as taking
