The Facilities & Asset Management (FAM) division of Public Works was formed in 1994 for the purpose of better managing city facilities worth more than $250 million. Prior to the formation of FAM, city facilities were managed by their respective departments using operational funds supplemented by occasional bond revenues. Since its formation, FAM has assumed an active role in evaluating facility needs and in promoting proactive maintenance and capital renewal programs.
Since 1998, FAM has been responsible for the major Parks & Recreation facilities and the General Fund facilities.
FAM assists other departments in the management of their facilities and routinely provides information on facility management practices, changing laws and regulations, and maintenance of building systems and equipment. FAM also provides facility construction and project management services to all city departments.
Since Jan. 1, 2004, FAM has provided operations and maintenance support for Library facilities under a Memorandum of Understanding.
