Public
Works
Division Summary
Services provided by the
Division of Public Works are key to the City's system for
addressing environmental, public health and local transportation
issues. The division provides residents with weekly collection
of garbage and trash, maintaining an emphasis on recycling
all possible materials to reduce landfill costs from household
recyclables at our recycling center.
Public Works
manages the maintenance of streets with services such as
asphalt paving, traffic engineering, pothole and cut/patch
repair, fleet maintenance, construction codes, flood plain
management, community services, government buildings, housing
codes, parks and recreation, state street aid and storm
water management Phase II MS4 to ensure reduction of pollution
from urban runoff. Public Works also interacts with the
Red Bank Planning Commission and the Red Bank Board of Zoning
Appeals.
The Division
must be responsive to the increased regulatory demands enforced
by TDEC, FEMA, OSHA and the EPA, as well as new technology
to improve productivity. The rising costs of essential supplies,
such as fuel, asphalt binder and electrical energy greatly
impact the Department's ability to meet expense goals.
