The City Attorney represents the City in a wide variety of judicial and administrative proceedings. 
One of the most important functions of the City Attorney is to render advice to the City Council and City Manager on procedural and substantive legal issues, the possible legal ramifications of proposed courses of action and on matters directly affecting the conduct of City Council business, such as public meeting and conflict of interest laws. The City Attorney is charged with the responsibility of drafting or reviewing a host of legal documents necessary for the daily operation of the City. These include contracts, leases, deeds, resolutions, ordinances, and many others.
