We have our own Fire Dept, Police force, Planning and Zoning, Building dept and Utilities dept including waste removal with a population of appx 15,000. The City is divided into 4 Wards or districts and each Ward has a Council person to represent them but the election is City wide. In addition to the 4 Council people we also elect a Mayor and the 5 of us run the City.
