Citizen Participation

City government encourages citizen participation with a flexible structure that involves neighborhoods, businesses, and other community interests.

• Council meetings are held in a variety of settings around the city.
• The City Council represents defined geographic districts.
• Regular town meetings supplement official hearings.
• A Youth Council advises the City on matters that affect non-voting community members.
• Citizens contribute up to two hours per month in government service—creating understanding and breaking down barriers between City departments and residents.
• City departments proactively help citizens to ensure projects are in compliance with City regulations and ordinances.
