The city is a full service city with the departments of Community Development, Engineering & Transportation, Finance, Fire, Human Resources, Information Technology, Library, Parks, Recreation and Community Services, Police, and Public Works Services, along with the City Manager's Office, City Clerk's Office, and City Attorney's Office. Municipal services are delivered with the support of over 600 employees. The City of Redwood City is a values-driven organization and a leader in the bay area.
