Commitment to Service

The mission of the City Attorney’s Office is to provide premier legal services to the City in a cost effective and efficient manner and to maintain the highest level of confidence and trust with the citizens, Council, Boards, Commissions and fellow employees.  We strive to minimize the City’s exposure to legal liability through early intervention by advising City boards and departments on a wide range of issues. Our pro-active approach to legal advocacy safeguards taxpayer resources from being spent on costs associated with claims and litigation and ensures that decisions are made in a lawful manner.

The City Attorney and staff cannot provide legal advice to private citizens on personal legal matters.
