The Public Works Agency provides for the management and maintenance of the City's infrastructure, including streets, trees, sidewalks and pathways; parks; creeks; sewers and storm drains; buildings and structures; vehicles and equipment; street lights and traffic signals. In addition, we manage community volunteer programs for beautification and clean-up projects, residential garbage and recycling, graffiti abatement and facilitate environmental compliance.
