City Secretary, permits & inspections

The City Secretary’s office keeps the City’s official records, posts meeting agendas, and administers building inspections and permitting. If you are planning to build, add on, install a fence, or place a structure, contact City Hall first to ask which permits and inspections are required — see our City Council page for how ordinances are adopted, and ask staff for the current permit forms and fees.

Public works & utilities

The Public Works Department maintains the city’s streets, water, sewer, and waste services. For water or sewer questions and billing, see the Water Department page; to report a street, drainage, or utility problem, call City Hall during business hours.

How to reach the right department

City Hall is the front door for most city business — utility billing, permits, records requests, and general questions. For police matters use the Police Department, and for citations or fines use the Municipal Court. For official forms and the current staff directory, the City’s own website is the authoritative source.
