Guidance Policy for Handling of Complaints/Concerns
Complaints or concerns are those personal contacts, telephone calls or written
correspondence from citizens or other agencies or departments regarding county roads
and other responsibilities of the County Road and Public Works Department, excepting
those normal correspondence matters of the Department.
Requests for service will be directed to the appropriate supervisor. All requests for
service will be promptly investigated and evaluated, and promptly corrected whenever
possible and appropriate. Requests that must be scheduled into the maintenance or
construction plans will be incorporated into the appropriate schedule where feasible. All
work will be done expeditiously as possible but will remain dependent on resource
availability and overall work priority. When appropriate, and/or requested, the citizen
shall be contacted regarding the disposition of the request.
General complaints/concerns/questions will be directed to the appropriate supervisor or
division head. All complaints will be investigated and promptly corrected whenever
possible and appropriate. When appropriate, and/or requested, the citizen shall be
contacted regarding the disposition of the complaint.
When snow, ice, flood, or other environmental conditions prevail to the extent that
complaints and/or calls for service are received in a continual manner, an employee or
employees will be designated to receive calls at the Administration Office to relieve the
affected supervisors so they may direct operations effectively.
