Resources for Journalists

The Community Affairs Office is a liaison for local, regional and national media on behalf of the city and is available to assist reporters in answering questions about city departments and activities, or obtaining more information about a news release or event. The mayor and members of city council conduct their own communications. Reporters and the public should contact elected officials directly when seeking comment from them.
