The Engineering Department oversees the design and preparation of plans and specifications for most municipal projects authorized by Village Council, such as roadway paving, sanitary sewer repairs, and drainage repairs.  The Department issues Street Opening Permits & Tree Removal Permits, and reviews Minor Soil Disturbance Permits & Sprinkler System Permits as necessary for the Building Department.
