About our Department
PUBLIC SERVICE GOAL:
To provide legal services and guidance to ensure that all City functions and actions taken are performed on a sound, legal basis.
The City Attorney is appointed by the Council and serves as the Legal Advisor to the City Council, City Manager, and all City departments, and represents the City in all litigation involving the City. The City Attorney drafts and/or reviews all ordinances and resolutions of the City to ensure constitutionality and harmony with existing law and reviews all contracts and agreements prior to execution. The City Attorney renders opinions concerning City policies and procedures based on interpretation of State, County and City laws, and pursues limitation of City liability exposure. The City Attorney represents the best interests of the public-at-large, not individuals.
