The Lake Park Maintenance/Public Works Department currently consists of two people: Jeff Patterson and Billy Jones. Both men have served the City of Lake Park for 10 years or more (Jeff took a little hiatus, but we're so very glad to have him back!). This department is responsible for Maintenance of Right of Way and Grounds (including mowing and weed-eating), Water, including reads and meter replacement, Buildings, and Cemetery, and coordinate many of the Community Service workers who come to the City. They also coordinate with Contractors and Engineers who are conducting work within the City, both on City projects and Private projects (this includes Developments, new business construction, etc). In addition to all of this, they assist with planning details, set up and clean up for the City's events at Fourth of July and Christmas. We are very proud (and relieved) to have these two men on our Team, and are working to get them some help out there. We would like to thank you all for your patience and good nature as we go through this process...it is a lot of work for two men, even with the other employees who have come and gone in the past couple of years. Keep an eye out for future posts introducing new staff as they come aboard. Many, many thanks to our Maintenance/Public Works staff for ALL that they do!
