Engineering is comprised of two divisions, Civil Engineering and Transportation Engineering. Civil Engineering is responsible for the planning and design of all underground city utilities. This division maintains and updates the city’s master water/wastewater plan, prioritizing the infrastructure improvement projects for waterline and wastewater line replacement, and water distribution system construction. Civil Engineering maintains the General Design Standards and assures that construction projects in the public right-of-way are built in conformance with those standards.

The Transportation Engineering division is responsible for all transportation planning and traffic studies. The Transportation Engineering division works in conjunction with regional and state agencies to develop future transportation plans for the City. The Transportation Engineering division also plans and designs all signals and provides operational support to the City’s signal unit and is responsible for school safety issues, traffic ordinances, speed limit and traffic impact analyses.
