Additionally,the Engineering Department will benefit from having a well-defined staffing succession plan in place, allowing Staff to know they have the ability to grow their knowledge and advance within the department. Public Works Operations Benefits The benefit of having a PW director type of department structure, is that it gives a clearer line of responsibility to people,both inside and outside of the organization. The current system of separate engineering and PW departments has worked well,but with the current rate of development in the city now and into the future,having one person acting as the final decision maker will likely be more efficient. Parks Division(Long Term Planning, Etc.)Benefits Mr. Riverblood's expertise and passion have long been evident in our park system when it comes to working with the residents in the community and developers. Mark has consistently, throughout his career,taken the lead role when it comes to planning/designing our park spaces and following that vision through construction. Mark is also very familiar with the day-to-day operations and processes used in PW and will be a great asset to Mr. Westby in that capacity as well.
