What is CityWorks 101?

Tours vary but usually include:
- A water treatment plant
- City television and production studio
- Streets and traffic control center

The 2020 CityWorks 101 class will take place March 25-May 13.
How do I apply?
Applications are now open for the 2020 CityWorks 101 class. Applications are due by midnight Feb. 21.

Why take CityWorks 101?
The class offers a deep understanding of the role and responsibilities of different departments, how they work together, ways to stay informed and how to be more involved. Students have gone on to serve on Boards and Commissions, volunteer in other capacities and even become Councilmembers.
Each class is different but some topics participants learn about include:
- Our form of government and how it works
- The timing of street lights, traffic control and construction
- Zoning laws and planning for growth
- Natural area management
- Grants, rebates and other resources offered through a variety of departments that help with neighborhood improvements, event implementation, utility efficiencies and more
