Budgets, Strategic Plans, and More
One of the significant responsibilities of the Council is to inform and adopt major planning documents for the City. These act as the roadmap for staff and inform budgeting priorities.
These are important! Without a strategic roadmap - developed with community input - it would be easy to get sidetracked and lose sight of the mid and long term vision.

Do you have an issue that your passionate about? See where it fits in to an existing planning document.
Remember to plug in to the often-overlooked planning workshops, because these will influence the City’s priorities moving forward.

Understanding the City’s Organization
Our City is a large organization with several departments: Community Services, Public Safety, Public Works, Community Development, Utilities, City Manager’s Office. Within these departments are divisions. And associated with various departments/divisions are commissions and advisory bodies.
When you have a concern or question, understanding the organization is helpful to inform where and how to direct your questions.
