MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
It is no exaggeration to say that every hour of every day Tigard's Public Works Department stands ready to
provide the essential services needed to ensure that our public infrastructure is designed, built, maintained
and repaired to support the high quality of life Tigard residents and businesses expect and deserve. On behalf
of the dedicated professionals that make up the Public Works Department, it is my privilege to present the
Department's 2016 Annual Report.
.^' Every resident and property owner of Tigard
Mj relies on Public Works each day for some type of
MESSAGE FROM
service. This includes providing excellent drinking
water, efficient conveyance systems for sewage
Dire � and stormwater, street maintenance, signage
and signals for traffic safety, maintenance of
our beautiful parks and trails, and much more.
And every member of Tigard's Public Works
Department takes this responsibility seriously and
works hard to achieve the highest levels of service
with our limited resources.
Our services to the community go beyond normal
daily maintenance. Our department is responsible
for the planning and completion of the capital
- improvement program (CIP) each year. We also
play a key role in the review and inspection of
P privately-developed projects. Whether public
private funds are involved, we work closely
ra
with other city departments to help maintain the
quality of our community as new projects are
planned and completed.
Day in and day out, the number one goal for our
department is to provide exceptional customer
* � service to our residents and businesses. I am
proud to lead and support our Public Works
employees in their efforts to serve Tigard.
l
p' If you have questions regarding the services being
provided, comments or suggestions for changes,
requests for additional services, or just want to let
us know how we are doing, please contact us at

38.2% of this cost to Lake Oswego and 61.8%to Tigard.

economy of our communities.

provide reliable, consistently high-quality drinking water—all for a few U
cents per gallon. " `+

• As new homes in Tigard are occupied, Public Works staff and equipment will be added; funding from these
new ratepayers will cover these costs.
