Citizen's Report

The city of Seaside wishes to assure you that your elected or appointed officials and city employees strive to provide the best service possible. Constructive criticism of procedures, comments indicating dissatisfaction with manner of performance, or information concerning actions by officials or employees which you feel should be brought to our attention will be investigated thoroughly.

Complaints against elected or appointed officials, city employees or practices will be first submitted to the City Manager. If not resolved at this point, complaints may be submitted, in writing, to the Mayor or, in the Mayor's absence, the Council President. If not resolved at this point, complaints may be placed on the agenda and heard by the City Council.

When a complaint concerns a question of ethical behavior any citizen has the right to submit the complaint to the State Ethics Commisssion. City Council members may not endorse such complaints from their position on the Council.

Please feel free to express yourself on any matter which you feel should be directed to our attention. Every report will receive our personal attention and any information you give will be kept confidential if you so request.
