The council appoints municipal officials, levies taxes, manages community finances, maintains public services and utilities, regulates business activity, and has carried out many plans and projects for community development and improvement. In addition to city council members, a number of other city officers attend council meetings. The minutes identify those present and summarize the discussion and activity at each council meeting.
