City Hall Civic Campus Parking Lot Remains on Schedule
The City is approaching the final stretch of the parking lot project. The Contractor has finished the vast majority of removing the remaining surface and grading. The sidewalk leading to City Hall’s south doors will be removed in the next week and an alternative path to the south doors will be provided. The Contractors have begun installing concrete curb and gutters in preparation for the asphalt pavement. The parking lot will remain closed during this last portion of the project. The parking lot is still anticipated to reopen before the Labor Day Holiday arrives. Please click here to view the City’s websites for additional information about the project.

The School of Police Staff and Command provides upper-level college instruction in a total of twenty-seven core blocks of instruction and additional optional blocks during each session. The major topics of study include: Leadership, Human Resources, Employee Relations, Organizational Behavior, Applied Statistics, Planning and Policy Development, Budgeting and Resource Allocation.
