The City is responsible for more than 200 parks and natural areas and has a summertime workforce of OFFICER almost 3,000 housed in Portland Parks & Recreation. Throughout the summer we offer hundreds of summer programs for kids and youth. 2. The transportation bureau doesn’t just maintain streets, it is also responsible for trimming roadside trees and shrubs and for installing and maintaining street lights and traffic signals. 3. The City issues approximately 1,000 building permits and other development-related permits per month, with just over half of those permits issued the same day the application is received. Permitted projects range in scale from a small kitchen remodel to high-rise office towers. 4. There are more than 6,000 employees that make up the 26 bureaus that provide emergency services and infrastructure support to the entire City! And these are only a few of the amazing things we do to keep the City moving forward. Our workforce is the engine behind all that we do at the City of Portland. As the City’s population continues to expand, so does our need to create faster processes and adopt innovative technologies to meet the demands of our growing community; these efforts require strong leadership. The City is working to merge business principles into government practices. We view the community as our customers and are making systems changes to meet customer needs. We are exploring best practices to make our workforce and workplace a model today and in the future. We look forward to exploring with you the boundless possibilities at the City of Portland.
