Citizen Guide

Citizen participation in local government is very important to the success of a city. 

Citizens have varied opportunities to participate including registering and voting, serving on a city board or commission, attending city council or commission meetings and speaking at public hearings and citizen comments, asking questions or giving comments to the city council through this web site.

We encourage you to take an active interest in your city government.
