Neighborhood Services
Our staff attends community meetings, assists residents with city services, shares important information directly with neighborhoods, and helps the City respond to emergencies.
We provide a forum for both groups and individuals to express concerns, request services, and extend opinions. We also serve to disseminate information and facilitate delivery of City services. We encourage, facilitate, and maximize resident input and participation in all aspects of government.
