The Director of the Department of Public Affairs, is known as the Public Affairs Director. This Department, under the supervision of the Mayor and Administrator, performs all appropriate functions respecting City public affairs, including:

• Oversight, Recreation Division
• Administration, Boat Ramp Division

An almost literal interpretation of the department’s name has allowed us to assist almost everyone from residents, to school officials, to employees; from citizen groups to business groups; from the Police Department to City officials, and more! In the past we have co-sponsored events; vaccinated dogs and cats; planted flowers; completed mass mailings; hosted tall ships; played sports from football to baseball; launched boats; safety-trained coaches; installed new basketball courts; made arts & crafts projects; picked up litter; and lots more!

In order to accomplish our objectives, The Department of Public Affairs works closely with other City departments, especially the Departments of Public Works and Public Safety.
