Communications and Public Engagement
Residents and visitors want effective, accurate and timely information, as well as ways to share thoughts and concerns with city employees, department leaders and elected officials. The Communications and Public Engagement Department (CPE) helps to make that happen.
The CPE team works with a variety of stakeholders to share city messages across a variety of communications channels. They also take feedback and ideas from the community back to city officials to create an inclusive and responsive city government.

These include faith-based groups, neighborhood associations, schools and nonprofit organizations. Effective communications with these different audiences is vital to the success of city initiatives and programs.
