Government Operations
We focus on the organization and structure of the City’s government and its laws.
We examine proposed ordinances and special laws that affect:
- City departments
- agencies, and
- commissions.
Ordinances often impact the quality of life for City residents. It's important we examine these ordinances for validity. We also review the efficiency and effectiveness of City programs.
