Information Technology
Provides information technology services to enable and support the operations of all City departments. This makes government services more easily accessible to citizens, governmental agencies, and external businesses.
Our infrastructure includes network, radio, and hardware/software platforms, along with support for citywide and department-specific applications and services. We partner with other departments, management, and key technology providers to implement and maintain technology solutions enabling efficient operations, and delivery of City services.
Public Communications

The department is responsible for producing and disseminating information about City operations to both the public at large (external customers) and City employees (internal customers).
Information is disseminated using a variety of methods and tools including the City Newsletter, media releases, public service announcements, advertising, social media, and this website.
