The Public Works Department is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the City's infrastructure including, streets, traffic (signs & markings and traffic signals), surface water and parks. Public Works is also involved in the design and construction of the City's capital projects.
Public Works services are provided to the community through a variety of contracts with private contractors and public agencies. As a contract City, Kenmore is able to choose between several outside agencies and private contractors to take advantage of each venders' abilities. Kenmore's partnership with the City of Lake Forest Park Public Works has proven to be effective in providing public works services such as street sweeping, slope mowing, and asphalt repair.
