DRAFT FY2009-10 Budget
Mission: To provide excellent and timely engineering support to the Richmond City Council, the public and other City departments so that the City maintains a quality infrastructure.
Key Objectives for Strategic Goals: 1. Maintain and enhance the physical environment • Maintain a high-quality network of streets, trails, sidewalks and public access areas that
connect Richmond residents to their homes, parks, jobs and commercial areas.
2. Promote a safe and secure community • Ensure that the quality and quantity of the street lights are adequate to create a safe
nighttime atmosphere. • Provide safe thoroughfares for both pedestrians and cyclists in and around the City.
3. Promote economic vitality • Improve the aged storm drainage system to help reduce flooding. • Provide a Capital Improvement Program that revitalizes the City’s commercial areas. • Provide an infrastructure that allows for the latest technology.
4. Promote sustainable communities • Use “BidsOnline” to help eliminate excessive printing of Request for Proposals, plans
and specifications and to cut down on mailing costs. • Research opportunities to reduce idling and improve traffic flow in Richmond to reduce
transportation related emissions. • Replace existing light fixtures with LED technology in City-owned street lights to reduce
energy consumption. • Determine opportunities for improving the overall environmental performance of the City-
owned wastewater treatment plant. 5. Promote effective government • Continue to provide friendly and efficient customer service. • Promote the City in a positive manner. • Provide more information on the City’s website regarding the design, bidding, and
construction of City projects. • Respond to the public’s requests in a timely fashion with accurate information. • Improve traffic engineering and subdivision plan review services by using consultants on
an “on-call” basis.
