Council Duties

Requests for a City representative at ceremonial events will be handled by the Council President. The Council President will serve as the designated City representative. If the Council President is unavailable, then the Council President will determine if event organizers would like another representative from the Council. If yes, then the Council President will recommend which Councilmember should be asked to serve as a substitute. Invitations received at City Hall are presumed to be for official City representation. Invitations addressed to Councilmembers at their homes are presumed to be for unofficial, personal consideration.

 

The City Manager represents the administrative side of the local government and if requested will attend ceremonial events after first deferring to the Council President.

 

Public recognition is a City Council activity and each Council member should feel the right and responsibility to recognize the residents and businesses for their accomplishments either through a statement at the Council meeting or sponsoring of a resolution.
