Administration

The Administration Division of DPW is responsible for payrolls, controls and processing of billings, issuance of certain permits (dumpsters, trash haulers and utility). As the name implies this group of individuals provides administrative support to DPW. Administration provides telephone switchboard and reception services to DPW during normal business hours. It serves as the central receiving and distribution point for calls/complaints/concerns that are received from the public, the City's administration, or from elected officials.

The Administration Division is headed by the Fiscal Adviser and staffed by five additional personnel. During FY 2012, DPW received/tracked and responded to more than 3,000 requests from a combination of; the public, the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services, and the City Council Office or directly from Council members. With the establishment of the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services, the Administration Division instituted a system for tracking the many complaints that are received during the course of the year. This tracking program has continued to focus on customer response, so that every complaint received is answered.

Payroll for the 100 plus employees of DPW (including overtime) is processed and tracked by the Administration Division. Payments for all expenditures which vary from small miscellaneous items such as office supplies, to the payment for contracted waste removal services which total more than $500,000 per month are prepared and processed through this office. For the most part, the Administration Division is directly involved in the preparation and tracking of payments from DPW's $19,000,000.00 budget.
