PROGRAM MISSION: To manage, maintain and support the County's facilities and automotive fleet and to provide various internal support functions for the general operation of the County government.

The General Services Division focuses on managing and maintaining the County's extensive community facilities and automotive fleet. General Services provides facilities management functions including maintenance and custodial services with a goal of ensuring prudent reinvestment strategies, asset preservation, and effective energy management. Also provided are various support functions, such as managing a supply warehouse and the County's car pool.

SIGNIFICANT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:

  • In addition to normal salary and benefits adjustments, the Personnel budget increases due to the elimination of a Work for Others charge to the Printing Fund, transfer of a 0.5 FTE, ($26,706) from the Printing Fund to the General Fund, and transfer of the building safety function from the Human Resources Department to DES (1.0 FTE, $73,723).
  • Non-personnel includes an inflationary increase for custodial services ($107,512), an increase for facilities maintenance contracts ($23,442), and County vehicle rental ($51,771).
  • The revenue increase reflects additional state reimbursement for jail maintenance.

  • While we are continuing efforts to improve the energy efficiency of County buildings, efficiency improvements in some facilities are partly offset by more intensive uses or schedules in other facilities. Over the long term energy efficiency continues to improve.
  • In order to provide a more accurate account of work performed in Facilities Maintenance, corrective and preventive maintenance work orders have been separated. Before FY 2003, corrective and preventive maintenance work orders were combined for a total of work performed.

FUTURE BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS:

  • The addition of expanded, renovated and new facilities will require additional staff and funding for utilities, facilities maintenance and custodial services.
