This includes providing leadership and ownership of all assigned programs and improvement activities affecting streets, sidewalks, rights-of-way, municipal parks, grounds, and other public facilities; landscaping; vehicle and equipment maintenance; litter patrol; street sweeping; traffic control signage and capital projects. The role involves financial oversight, efficient resource allocation, and data-driven, progressive decision-making. The Deputy Director must be available for emergency response as required.
