Communications & Community Engagement

Welcome to the Communications & Community Engagement (CCE) Department: Your connection to everything happening in our city!

We're all about keeping the conversation flowing between City Hall and YOU! Through every tool and channel we can think of – from social media to community meetings to good old-fashioned flyering and block walking – we make sure you're in the loop on everything from emergency alerts and city services to exciting events and opportunities to have your voice heard.

We're here to serve you, celebrate our community, and make sure your city government is listening, responsive, and working for everyone!
