Operations

The three divisions within Operations are Facilities Management, Road Operations, and County Service Areas (CSAs) Operations.

Road Operations

Shasta County Road Maintenance Crews maintain hundreds of miles of paved roads and unpaved and gravel shoulders, drainage ditches, gutters and culverts. Pavement maintenance includes surface treatments, crack sealing, and pothole patching. Roadside maintenance activities include snowplowing, mowing, weed spraying, brush removal, culvert and ditch maintenance, street sweeping and litter clean up. Such activities are necessary to eliminate potential hazards from the traveled way, maintain adequate visibility, support the road structure and allow storm water to readily exit the roadway.

In addition Special Crews are responsible for bridge maintenance, traffic striping, and signal and sign maintenance.

Facilities Management

The Facilities Management Division is responsible for maintaining approximately 700,000 sq. ft. of county buildings. Additionally, 10 acres of landscaping and grounds are maintained.

Facilities Management is responsible for administering any major capital additions and projects, such as new buildings, thoughout the County. The County utilizes consultants for most architectural services. Contract administration is done with County staff.

Additionally, Facilities Management manages Hat Creek Park, French Gulch Park, Balls Ferry Boat Ramp and the Redding Memorial Veterans Hall.
