Bristow reorganizes Public Works: utilities under Troy Davidson, operations under Chad Foster
Summary
Mayor Kris Wyatt outlined a reorganization splitting Public Works into Utilities (water/wastewater) led by Troy Davidson and Operations (streets, parks, cemetery) led by Chad Foster; council approved the change and appointments.
Mayor Kris Wyatt described a restructuring of the Public Works Department to create one department head with two supervisors. She told the council that “Troy will be over the utilities like Water, Wastewater and anything related to Water,” and that Chad Foster would oversee operations including streets and parks. The mayor said the plan addresses near- and long-term staffing and infrastructure needs.
Inspector Chad Foster described operational priorities and said the city’s water system includes 6-, 12- and 18-inch lines; he said he was working to ensure adequate parts are kept in inventory so repairs can be completed without delay. Councilmember Judd Johns and others asked for better coordination between the two supervisors; the council approved the division and appointments by roll call.
