City Manager's Office
Though the city manager is appointed by City Council, the City Manager's Office is made up of non-political employees much like any other office. The employees in the City Manager's Office oversee city operations and processes while acting as a clearinghouse for information both requested by and submitted to City Council.
The City Manager's Office exists to keep the city running, regardless of who wins an election.
