| NOTE: These totals do not
include the landfill and recycling programs;
through 1995 these programs were a division of Public Works but were
funded through a separate fund instead of the General Fund. In 2000 these positions were transferred to
Orange County . See Town summary chart
for the Landfill and Recycling positions. |

|
|
| *
In this chart, where possible, positions in earlier years are shown in the
program in which they currently work.
There have been several reorganizations in the last 20 years in the
Public Works Department; in these reorganizations programs have been combined
into different units at different times.
Positions performing various streets, traffic, drainage system
management, and construction work were in separate divisions or programs that
were combined into the Field Operations Division in 1992. Positions doing
grounds maintenance and building maintenance worked in the General Services
Division in early years. And when the Parks Division was combined with Public
Works positions in 1995, the Landscape
Division was created. |
