The Mission of the Public Works Department is to provide infrastructure and quality of life related services to residents and visitors of Okaloosa County. The Public Works Department accomplishes this mission through its five divisions: Engineering, Traffic Operations, Roads, Environmental Services, and Administrative Services. Additional support is provided through the subsidiary department of Fleet Operations.
The Public Works Department will hone operational efforts while maximizing the efficiency of our limited resources. Challenges presented to the department will be met with a commitment to excellence and professionalism. Opportunities for success will come with the implementation of innovative solutions and a statement of pride in the quality of our work.
Professionalism: We will perform quality work, be respectful of our workers and citizens, be innovative in the use of our resources and be in perpetual pursuit of improvement.
Integrity: Staff will be fair, consistent, open, honest, responsible and selfless in our actions and decisions.
Accountability: We will be responsible in our use of resources (funds, materials, equipment and people) to do all we can to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the public and our staff. We will continue to be good stewards of the government infrastructure and resources.
