– Dale DeLong’s extensive career in the Public Works Department exemplifies the dedication and resilience required to lead a critical community service organization. Over his 29 years of service, he has ascended through every conceivable position within the department, ultimately being appointed Director in 2013. This wealth of experience not only underscores his deep understanding of the operational aspects of public works but also highlights the collaborative spirit that characterizes the department under his leadership.

– As the only public works department on the south shore of Lake Travis in western Travis County, Dale manages a team of ten employees.

– During this formidable event, Dale and his team demonstrated extraordinary commitment by working tirelessly around the clock during the initial week.

– Their primary responsibilities included treating icy roads, removing downed tree limbs, and clearing various obstacles that blocked pathways. These actions were crucial in ensuring the safety and accessibility of roadways for residents.

– Following the urgent response phase, the public works team transitioned into a more prolonged effort, engaging in debris management that lasted over two months. They took on the challenging task of grinding all debris collected by a removal company, ensuring that every piece was processed efficiently.

– The department had the responsibility for ensuring compliance with FEMA requirements added another layer of complexity to their task. Dale's team diligently monitored debris removal trucks, making sure that they were operating at full capacity.

– Dale’s leadership style is characterized by an emphasis on collaboration and recognition of individual contributions. He openly credits his team's determination and hard work as instrumental to their accomplishments.
