Engineering
The Engineering Division (Engineering) of the Development Services Department manages the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP takes inventory of the City’s existing infrastructure and facilities and then develops a prioritized project list consistent with the community goals. The program is designed to achieve optimum use of taxpayer dollars and to make sound budgetary decisions. Each year, staff provides a CIP update to the City Council. The update discusses each project’s scope, budget, and anticipated funding source(s). The CIP continues to serve as a tool for staff to plan, implement, and manage improvements and ongoing upgrades to the City’s infrastructure.
The Engineering Department also inspects grading and public improvements for private development projects and activities within the public right-of-way. Engineering is also responsible for providing comments on planning and engineering reviews, checking grading plans and improvement plans, associated technical reports related to hydrology, water quality, and soils, and the final map for private development projects.
