In this episode of the Waukee Podcast, we step behind the scenes with Heather Behrens and Rudy Koester, Public Works Director and Civil Engineer for the City of Waukee, to uncover the incredible coordination required to keep our streets clear and our community moving. With a limited team and a fleet of 12 dump trucks, Rudy shares how careful planning, communication, and experience come together to tackle everything from snow removal to daily street maintenance. It's a fascinating look at the work most of us don't see—but all benefit from every day.
We also welcome Travis Gaule with Trust Bridge Wealth Advisors, who previews an exciting new series focused on helping Waukee families move toward a "work-optional" lifestyle. Through practical wisdom and simple tools, Travis shares how long-term planning can lead to greater confidence and clarity through 2026 and beyond. And of course, Jamie Thompson, #WaukeeRealtorMom, keeps us in the know with What's Up Waukee—your guide to cocoa, cookies, Christmas lights, crafts, and weekend fun around town.
