SUBJ: Inter-departmental Coordination
DATE: 23 June 1975
The Public Works Department is an intergral part of City service
to its residence. It maintains the city's streets, buildings and
equipment in such a manner so as to make the city an attractive
municipality with all streets and roads conforming to national
traffic standards. Most important of these responsibilities are the
roads and streets. The purpose of this request is to coordinate the
activities and responsibilities of this department with the .issuance
of permits according to Ordinance 119. The scope of this policy shall
apply to all companies making use of city road right-of-ways for
under ground utilities that cross city roads.
The method suggested for adoption is simply this: When an Ordinance
119 permit is applied for, the Building Inspector will issue said
permit only if co-signed by the Public Works Director.
If these permits are issued in this way, the coordination between
these two departments will be smooth and the following conditions will
be maintained.
CONDITIONS
1.) When a utility company applies for a road use permit, the length
of construction, location of work, and type of cut should be
considered by the Public Works Director, because of traffic flow
problems, detours, and whether or not the cut will interfer with
scheduled or contracted road use projects by this department.
2.) In case a problem concerning road and bridges developes due to the
cutting of the roadway, this department head will know all the
