The Public Works Department is responsible for the construction, maintenance, and repair of the City's infrastructure systems, including storm, water, streets, sidewalks, and signage. Construction and repair responsibilities are scheduled at specific times throughout the year, while maintenance responsibilities are generally conducted on an ongoing basis. The Public Works Department is also responsible for snow removal services during the winter months and for clearing post-storm debris from public right-of-ways year-around. During the summer months, Glendale hires 6 part-time employees to help the regular crew do various street, curb and sidewalk construction and repairs. PERSONNEL: Carl Politte, Superintendent Terry Jones, Foreman James Smith, Maintenance Worker Josh Akers, Maintenance Worker Rodney Maddox, Mechanic/Maintenance Worker ICE AND SNOW REMOVAL During snow and ice storms, our Public Works Department works diligently to keep the streets clear. Plowing and salting are done by a snow plan that takes into account traffic patterns, street grade, and the number of homes served. The arterial streets of North Sappington and Kirkham receive top priority, then secondary, high traffic streets are then plowed per specific routes. Lastly, as a courtesy, the Public Works Department salts and plows all private streets. It would be of great help to the City if during these storms your automobiles were parked in your driveway. City snow plow crews can do a much more thorough job when they do not have to work around vehicles parked on the street as it is difficult to maneuver between and around these vehicles. MOSQUITO FOGGING Usually beginning the end of May and continuing throughout the warm weather months, our Public Works Department provides a mosquito fogging service to the residents free of charge. The fogging is done on Thursday evenings between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 12:00 midnight. In order to control the mosquito population in creeks, larvicide is placed in the creeks at the end of April. SEWER LATERAL REPAIR PROGRAM In November 1997, the residents of Glendale passed a proposition adding an additional $7.00 per quarter to their refuse bill to be set-aside in a separate fund for a Sewer Lateral Repair Program. This program was designed to help our residents who have to pay for sanitary sewer lateral repairs between its connection with the sewer main and the house connection. If you think you have a collapsed sewer lateral or have been informed that you do by a contractor or the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District, please contact our Public Works Superintendent, Carl Politte at 965-3600 in order to have an application for this program mailed to you, or click on this sewer lateral program link for online access to the printable application and more specific information about our sewer lateral program. SIDEWALKS AND CURBING PROGRAM Our Public Works Department replaces sidewalks only on Sappington Road. The remainder of sidewalks throughout the City are the responsibility of the residents. Our Curbing Program consists of curbs being added to streets without curbs and the repairing of broken, aging curbs. All new curbs are installed using asphalt. STREET SWEEPING Street sweeping services will be provided throughout the City on an as-needed basis, (usually in June). Notice is given to the residents when street sweeping is scheduled. In order to assure a thorough cleaning of our streets, we ask that all residents try not to park their vehicles on the street during the week of scheduled street sweeping services. STREET REPAIR/MAINTENANCE Our Public Works Department is responsible for all City street repairs and maintenance, curb removal and replacement and striping of City streets. They are also involved in storm water projects throughout the City. STREET SIGNS All City signs to include parking, speed limit, traffic and welcome signs are maintained and replaced by our Public Works Department with the exception of all signs off of Berry Road and West Lockwood, which are maintained by the State Highway Department. Temporary “No Parking” signs may be put up if requested by the resident in the event of a block party, estate or garage sale, etc. To request this service, please contact City Hall at 965-3600.
