This department is headed by the City Engineer. It is divided into two main divisions, Engineering and Protective Inspections. It is funded in the Engineering Department and the Engineering-Protective Inspections portions of the General Fund. A number of major capital projects overseen by this department are also funded in the Capital Improvements Program Fund.
The Engineering Division is responsible for street and drainage design, review of subdivision plats for necessary infrastructure, construction inspection on City projects for roads and drainage, administering the City's street repaving program (including the State's LARP funding), maintaining landfill post-closure compliance with EPA and EPD rules and regulations, traffic engineering studies and improvements, and development of road and drainage improvement priorities. This division also enforces all aspects of the Zoning Ordinance dealing with signs. It is the City's liaison with the Georgia Department of Transportation on all street projects within the City, whether locally or state funded. |
