Purpose, as its page states it

The City of Boulder has a council-manager form of government where the elected City Council sets policies and the council-appointed city manager administers them. Regular City Council meetings are held in Council Chambers located in the Penfield Tate II Municipal Building, 1777 Broadway St. The City Clerk's Office provides administrative support for City Council, among other duties, and is responsible for managing council-related webpages and documents.
