  • City Council Resolutions: 1961-63, 1966, 1972 - Present
  • City Council Minutes: 1911 - Present

  • Historic and Cultural Preservation Committee Resolutions: 2010 - Present

Please be patient. Due to budget constraints, our license is limited and does not allow multiple users to access the system simultanously. If the system is busy, please try again later.

You should know that we can only provide limited assistance. For further information, contact the City Clerk's office
