Each year the city council gets organized as there are
requirements under the statues that are required to be made. Some of these involve things like the
official depository and the official newspaper.
The city also appoints citizens to various committees and commissions to
assist with the policy and decision making of the city. Council members not only serve in their
capacity as a city council member during council meetings but also work towards
common goals and managing of the city from a policy perspective.
The city has established council committees to assist the
staff in operations. These committees
include a Finance Committee, a Personnel Committee, and a Roads Committee. Council Liaison’s also assist staff and
citizen committees with a council member contact person. This liaison is to foster better
communication between their responsible area and the city council. Liaisons do not have a vote on committees but
do facilitate discussion and perspectives.
With better communication and understandings it is hoped policy making
and operations improve with ongoing dialog.
