maintenance of all Town-owned buildings and facilities. This includes electrical,
plumbing, HVAC, structural repairs, custodial coordination, and preventative

and well-maintained to support the daily operations of all departments and provide
a clean, comfortable environment for employees and the public.

The Fleet Maintenance Division is responsible for repairs, servicing, and overall management of the Town’s vehicles and equipment.
