Beginning in 2018, the Town adopted a new plan for Public Works functions which we believe will provide great service at a cost considerably less than a "traditional" public works department. The Town now employs two Public Works Operations Managers who in addition to their own capabilities oversee a variety of private sub-contractors to complete many of the routine jobs. As one can imagine, everything from landscape maintenance, facility repairs, water/sewer, and streets falls within the scope of Public Works responsibilities. Contracting out many of these services has proven to save money, increase productivity, and reduce liability. A few larger cities have adopted similar models however Kersey is on the cutting edge for smaller community models. So far, success!

Our Managers include:

Mark Herrick who serves as the Town's Operations manager over Water, wastewater, and facilities. Mark is also the designated ADA coordinator for the Town. Mark has many years of municipal public works experience and is a genuine problem-solver.  Mark also serves as our ADA coordinator and can be reached at mherrick@kerseygov.com.  

Josh Roseberry who serves as the Town's Operations Manager over Parks, Streets, and the Town's fleet. Josh also has many years of municipal public works experience and is great at seeing the big picture needs for Kersey's future.
