The City Council meets weekly on Tuesdays in City Hall at 801 Main Street, and meetings are televised on local channels. In 2026, leadership changes included the retirement of City Manager Kenneth Williams after a 39-year public service career, and Demi Engman, Director of Planning & Community Development, was recognized as one of America's 250 Public Service Champions, reflecting the city's ongoing service to residents and businesses.
