Human Resources Department

The Human Resources Department is located within City Hall and has office hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Department’s mission is to be a business partner, working with and for the departments within City Hall. The Human Resources Team provides services that promote a work environment characterized by fair treatment of staff, open communications, personal accountability, trust and mutual respect. We will seek and provide solutions to workplace issues that support and optimize the operating principles of the City. On a daily basis the Human Resources Team will assist City departments with Policy and Procedure interpretation, State and Federal Labor Law guidelines, Recruitment and Retention of valuable employees, Compensation, Employee Relations, Performance Evaluations, provide and promote a safe and healthful working environment, and other personnel-related concerns and questions.

Recognizing that our employees are our most valuable asset, our Team’s goal is to provide assistance in their career development to enhance their growth within the City.
