The entire development and permit process involves several City departments. The core implementation team is comprised of specialists from each of these departments: Development & Permits, Planning, Fire, Public Utilities, Parks, Recreation & Tourism, and Information Technology. Other entities, such as the Commissioner of the Revenue, Customer Contact Center, Real Estate Assessor, and Treasurer, contribute as needed to ensure the full integration of existing City systems with this project.
