Facilities Division

Residents and visitors alike use City facilities to find a quiet place to read a book, attend a concert, enjoy the outdoors, do business, or participate in government. The Facilities Division of the General Services Department is responsible for ensuring that the facilities where library, park and recreation centers, and other government services are provided are maintained in a safe and operable condition.
