The Council appointed city manager is responsible for financial and operational management of the city's 130 employees. Highlights Over 200 volunteers assist in providing City government services to the community each year.

Since then, motor oil, yard waste and mixed paper have been added. City Council and Planning Commission meetings are televised live on the City's cable television government access channel 26.
