The Department of Communication & Public Engagement is responsible for the City’s internal and external communications and coordination of public engagement efforts. The Office informs the community about its City government and its programs using a variety of communications tools. The Office also coordinates the marketing of City facilities and programs, and plans and conducts public relations programs, activities and special events to enhance engagement and facilitate connections between the community and City services, programs and policy.

The City is in compliance with FAA rules that allow local governments to operate small Unmanned Aircraft Systems ("sUAS" or "Drones"). FAA-Certified staff pilots within the division capture images for marketing and advertising, virtual park tours, GIS mapping, planning analysis and review, and public building and facility inspections. Use of a City drone for code and law enforcement purposes is prohibited by City policy, and a Good Neighbor Policy is also in place to respect an expectation of privacy by our residents. See the Documents Box on this page for policy and procedure manuals.
