Public Works is responsible for the Planning, Building and Safety, and maintenance and construction of the City’s infrastructure. The department includes approximately 40 employees consisting of engineers, building inspectors, plan checkers, technicians, mechanics and maintenance personnel. 

The engineering section is responsible for administering city contracts and designing public improvements, such as roadways, storm drains, sewers, traffic signals and City-owned buildings. This section also maintains plans for city construction projects and prepares legal descriptions for street dedications.

The survey section maintains Vernon’s centerline ties, monuments and benchmarks, providing the basis from which private property lines are established in the City. It is also responsible for engineering and inspecting city-run construction projects. Public works crews maintain the City’s streets, sewers, storm drain systems, traffic islands and City buildings. These crews also provide graffiti and litter removal. The City garage warehouses supplies and maintains a fleet of more than 300 vehicles and motorized equipment.

Public Works reviews, inspects and approves all new construction within the public right-of-way, and cooperates with other departments to review and process all parcel maps, lot line adjustments, lot mergers, covenants and agreements.
