“Communicating with our citizens and business owners is very important to us. Tools like Facebook help us provide you with timely information in a convenient location,” says Brian Coddington, the City’s Communications Director. “Unfortunately, we don’t control how that information is handled and how it reaches you.  We hope these directions will improve your ability to get information from us when you need it.”
