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.
