City Departments

The finance director performs and supervises work related to the receipt, deposit, custody, investment and disbursement of city funds. After compiling budget requests and reports, payroll and related reporting, balancing ledgers, reconciling invoices, and working with external auditors, among other financial and human-resources-related tasks, the director reports to the mayor and council.

The city clerk maintains and safeguards the city’s permanent records, as well as preparing agendas and taking minutes at all mayoral and city council meetings. In addition, the city clerk is responsible for posting ordinances and public notices, issuing business licenses and associated tax collections, as well as property tax billing and collection. Public and private individuals and organizations interface with the city clerk in regards to purchase orders and  invoice payments and to gather routine information or issue complaints. Our city clerk serves personnel, residents, business owners, and others professionally and efficiently.
