Cross-Trained

Many of the full-time employees within these divisions are cross-trained in a variety of the services rendered, providing the department with great flexibility while at the same time keeping cost down. Where it is deemed more cost-effective, or the nature of the service requires technical expertise, services are contracted out through competitive bidding
