Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Fleets and Facilities Department (FFD) manages and maintains municipal real property and facilities, as well as overseeing the City’s vehicle fleet. FFD was created in 2001 in a reorganization of the Executive Services Department, which was itself created from a merger between the Finance Department, the Personnel Department, and the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) in 1997. DAS was created in 1980 with the merger of certain functions of the General Services Department, Building Department, Division of Motor Transportation, and Office of Management and Budget.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

There are five annual reports for General Services dating from 1970 to 1979. They include brief narratives of each of the divisions, summary statistical information, and an overview of the data processing services of the City. The Department of Administrative Services annual reports, especially those in the early 1980s, are very brief. The 1985 report contains information regarding the City's computer and communications systems. Researchers should also consult the Archives Documents database.

Other Descriptive InformationReturn to Top

A Comptroller or Clerk File (CF) can consist of correspondence, reports, petitions, contracts, agreements, etc. from elected officials, City departments, other government agencies, or the general public, which have been placed "on file" with the Office of the City Clerk (OCC). They are primarily permanent records, but also include routine material which was periodically purged. Certain archival records identified in the CF have been removed, arranged into records series, and incorporated into the collection of the Seattle Municipal Archives, a program of the OCC.
