Executive Summary:
In accordance with City Charter Article IV, Section 1(a), the Council, by ordinance not inconsistent with the City Charter, shall provide for the organization, conduct, and operation of the several offices and departments of the City as established by the Charter, for the creation of additional departments, divisions, offices, and agencies, and for their consolidation, alteration, or abolition.
Last year, the City Manager combined the Public Affairs Section and the City Clerk Section to create the City Clerk Division. There is a desire to rename the Division to a name that encompasses the entirety of operations and functions within the Division. The core purpose of the Division is engagement with the community. We communicate heavily through all forms of media and facilitate citizen communication with their elected officials. We build relationships with our indigenous neighbors and students, conduct elections, preserve the City's history, ensure transparency in government operations, and ensure compliance with the community's desired labor standards. In its entirety, we provide communication to the community and encourage citizens to engage and participate with their government. We feel that the name Communication and Civic Engagement is a good representation of our function as a Division.
