City government depends upon citizens to be interested and involved.
Citizens have many opportunities to participate in city government .
Just learning how city government works is a great way for you to become involved. The most basic way a citizen can participate is by voting during a City Council election. Many people who are active in their neighborhoods also are involved with city government. Neighborhood associations meet to discuss what s going on in the neighborhood and plan events that help the neighborhood. Council members often go straight to the neighborhood association when they want to know how the neighbors feel about something.
