GENERAL FUND, MANAGED BY PUBLIC OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT

Main Functions

Repairs & Small Projects: As with any building, City facilities need constant repairs for expected needs like repainting siding and unexpected needs like a commercial dishwasher failing at the Senior Center.

Long-Term Needs: Growth in population/demand means growth in City staff. More staff means not only more office space but also more meeting space, restrooms and parking needs. The opening of the Public Operations Facility at the end of 2026 required a lot of Facilities work into this biennium, to readjust the old facility and City Hall to best use each space.

Safe and Secure: A changing world means changing needs to keep spaces safe and secure for staff and public; examples include additional security cameras, changing access doors, additional infrastructure for digital needs.
