Welcome from Mayor Alan Autry 

Welcome to the on-line home for the City of Fresno.  It is our mission to provide you with the resources and information you need to become better acquainted with the services, programs and initiatives available through your city government – from conducting your e-business transactions to browsing for the latest news and events in the City of Fresno.

I encourage you to engage in the political decision making process by listening to City Council meetings as they happen live at City Hall Live Council Broadcast.  It’s the best way to keep up with what’s going on in your city.

If you or your group are interested in a presentation on a particular city program or project in greater detail, visit the Public Affairs Office page and make a request for a presentation through the Speakers Bureau.  If you find that we have missed something or you have a recommendation for improvement, feel free to contact us.

This is our portal to the world and in many ways the only view of our city that some folks will ever see.  I want you to be proud of how we represent Fresno, so please don’t hesitate to become acquainted with how your city government works and get involved.

     Warmest Regards,
     Mayor Alan Autry
