The purpose of the Administration Department is two-fold. First and foremost, we are charged with implementing policy established by the City Council. This helps to ensure that our city government operates within the boundaries of prudence and ethics as set forth in the City Charter and the Code of Ordinances.
The City Manager is responsible for implementing policy established by the city council and ensuring the successful management of all city operations, from street and park maintenance to economic development and public safety. The city manager appoints and the city council approves directors to lead each of the eight city departments.
The City Manager also appoints and the city council approves a city clerk. The clerk maintains the official city documents, prepares correspondence and meeting agendas/packets for the council, carries out scheduled elections in accordance with applicable law and maintains the official city seal.
Within the City Manager's office of Administration lie the Administrative Services. Administrative Services include Human Resources, Loss Control/Risk Management, Assessing and Deputy Registrar. Administrative Services is overseen by the assistant city manager.
