With a staff of nine, the Building Maintenance Department is responsible for corrective and preventative maintenance to 26 Town Buildings including the Town Hall, Police Station, Library, Railroad Station, Teen Center, Richmond Center, 47 Bridge Street (Park and Rec location) and 7 Public Works Buildings and the maintenance to all new downtown decorative lights. This staff consists of a trade licensed supervisor, a senior technician, two skilled technicians, and five semi-skilled technicians. The day-to-day custodial activities include: cleaning, repair, carpet, lights and painting of all offices in the Town. In addition to these projects the Facilities department was also responsible for the maintenance and cleaning of the decorative street lights that now consists of some 150 throughout downtown New Milford. Facilities Maintenance also has the customer service request system based on the internal requests of Town employees and the needs of the offices and responded to 175-190 work orders. Many of the technical projects are ongoing in that some maintenance items haven’t been addressed in over 10 years-cleaning, plastering and painting some facilities and these are usually done with only two FM Technician I’s. The FM Supervisor also is responsible for the Energy consumption of the Town buildings and has spent many hours researching and implementing new lighting and electrical facilities in order to reduce spending.

This is a list of some of the activities that the Facilities Maintenance Department did during the FY 07-08.
