THE STAFF
The city staff, under the direction of the City Manager, is responsible for carrying
out the policy of the City Council and implementing programs and services. The City
Manager and the City Attorney are appointed by and report directly to City Council.
All other department heads and staff members report to the City Manager. As the
city's chief administrative officer, the City Manager oversees responsibilities
for the day to day administrative affairs of the City, including assigning staff
liaisons to assist the various advisory committees in carrying out their responsibilities.
Boards and commission members are appointed specifically for their expertise or
interest in the special subject matters addressed by the committee, and the staff
serves to assist these committees. Advisory committees determine their own agenda,
reviewing needs and issues at the committee's discretion, with the overall guidance
of City Council.
