ADMINISTRATION & ENGINEERING, FACILITIES & FLEET

The Public Works Support Division includes administration and engineering/project management. The Support Division ensures coordinated planning and execution of all master plans along with capital and maintenance related projects within each of the enterprise operating divisions (Airport, Facilities, Streets, Storm, Water, Wastewater). The Support Division, building upon a GIS foundation, provides the framework through which municipal infrastructure is tracked, maintained, and ultimately reported on. The Support Division also manages all right of way permitting, customer related inquiries and various committee staffing assignments.

The Facilities Division supports 132,473 square footage of building space from 29 buildings within the City’s inventory.

• The focus for the Facilities Division is to provide adequate maintenance and evaluation for long term safety and improvement needs for all City Facilities. All of the evaluation information is captured in the City’s asset management database providing the ability to understand future maintenance related replacement schedules and developing required budget requests.
• Facilities maintenance and improvement functions are regulated by Oregon Building Code and Ashland Planning Code.
