Public Works is the Department that makes a city sparkle. The next time you enjoy one of our beautiful parks, slow down and take time to observe the results of the efforts of our Public Works Department. Whether you choose to walk, ride your bike, or drive, it's the never-ending efforts of the Public Works Department that makes it possible. The streets are cleaned and maintained by the Public Works Department. The sidewalks are maintained by the Public Works Department. The traffic control devices that allow us to safely navigate the streets are all due to the labor of the Public Works Department.

En route you'll observe beautifully manicured trees and grass cultivated by our Public Works Department.

Once at one of our parks, the first thing you will notice is the clean grounds. The shelter house and gazebo at the City Triangle are freshly painted and kept in great condition. Even at night, the lighting keeps the area well lit. It is the efforts of the Public Works Department that makes this happen.  

Public Works can be reached at 515-987-4363.

The Public Works Department is comprised of the Public Works, Engineering and the Parks and Recreation Departments and is currently under the direction of John R. Gibson, Director of Public Works
