(1290) Building & Grounds Maintenance

Division Overview

The Building and Grounds Maintenance division is responsible for all County departmental requests for repairs or maintenance of County facilities, including leased buildings that are not otherwise the responsibility of the landlord/lessor, for owned buildings, for parks and other community areas, and for the climate control systems in certain Count buildings. We monitor the overall condition of facilities and will make recommendations to department heads or other appropriate County management for projects that are too large in scope for our staff to perform, or that require special knowledge/experience.
