Service Philosophy
In striving to fulfill its mission, the Public Works Department bases its priorities and activities upon these principles:
1. The quality of life for residents and taxpayers of the Village should be maintained as necessary; enhanced when possible; and expanded when appropriate.
2. Maintenance, enhancement, and expansion should be as seamless and invisible as possible in order that little or no disruption to the flow of Village life is felt by residents.
3. Due to the seasonal nature of public works projects, priorities for work will vary season to season.
4. Response to needs will be immediate as necessitated by concerns for these priorities:
· Public Safety
· Disruption of the flow of Village life
· Budget
· Manpower
· Equipment
