Message from the Commissioner
I am very honored to have been recently appointed
Commissioner of the Department of General Services (DGS), the City’s second
largest workforce. In my 4-½ years as Deputy Commissioner I have had the
privilege of working closely with the 265 dedicated and hard-working men and
women of the department many of whom are members of the Blue Collar Union Local #1961, Operating Engineers Local
#106 and Teamster’s Local 294.
DGS is responsible for providing a variety of services to
the residents of the City of Albany among these are trash & recycling
collection, sidewalk replacement, roadwork repair, illegal trash enforcement
and forestry. We are committed to delivering these services with the utmost
professionalism and highest quality. To
achieve this we continue to implement new training programs, policies and
procedures that make the department more responsive and more accessible to the
residents of the city. |
