As a city, it is our responsibility to facilitate the public's access to the services it funds through effective communications. Without it, our constituents would be unaware, or have limited access to, critical services they rely upon every day including public safety, streets and roads, libraries, recreation, neighborhood, business support and other key services. As a result of rapidly evolving communications technologies, there are now multiple channels or tools to disseminate public, educational and government access programming, including social media as well as streaming video content on the web site and web-based applications. Information that once was limited to broadcast over cable access television can now also be delivered as streaming video content on the web site and through social media channels (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter) and web-based applications. The demand for rapidly delivered information has never been higher; the public now expects to have immediate access to information 24/7 using the communications tools of their choice. Communications includes a broad array of skills and services, including: public information; media relations; public education; government access television programming and broadcast; online communication through the web site and other web-based services, applications and tools; community engagement and public participation; social media; and emergency public information.
