KIRTLAND SERVICE DEPARTMENT

Public Service Administrator: Carmelo P. Catania (Carm)

The Service Department has recently started doing all the resurfacing of the city streets in house, as opposed to being contracted to outside firms. The department is also continuing to do most of the drainage work within the city. Once a year the department contracts for the arterial roads to be stripped from various low-bid contractors. New signage work is also being installed by the city employees. Maintenance of all property and all city buildings, including cemeteries, and the recreational park areas is also the responsibility of the service department staff.

Current Service Department personnel:

Superintendent of Roads - Terry Nicholson
Superintendent of Cemeteries - Larry Spence
Mechanic - Stan Wlodarczyk
Leadman - Tom Coffield
There are also ten other employees of the service department. The custodian for all the buildings is Jake Nicholson. This year the department added a part time secretary to be available to answer the phones between 8:00am and 2:30pm for three or four days a week.

Normal department hours: 7 am - 3 pm

Wintertime: The department splits up and usually runs two 12-hour shifts in order to make sure your roads are maintained and plowed during all storms, day and night. We kindly ask all residents to advise any snow plow contractors they have hired that they cannot plow snow onto the city streets.

Summertime: The department goes to four 10-hour days in order to utilize as much daylight as possible, and for a more efficient operation of large equipment and machinery.
