Mayor Manier Welcomes You to 
Washington on the Web!  

On behalf of the City of Washington, Illinois, I would like to welcome you to our official web site.  The City is bringing you this site so that Washington citizens and other interested persons can have quick and convenient access to all sorts of city information.  I am especially pleased that this site provides electronic access to the City Code and the agendas and minutes for all city committees.  

If you do not see a menu bar to the left you may need to update your browser. Internet Explorer and Netscape can be updated by clicking the following:  http://www.americanfunds.com/help/updating-my-browser.htm 

The agendas for City Council meetings will provide very useful and up-to-date information through the use of hyperlinks.  For example, if you are interested in a particular item, say a pay request on a street project, all you will need to do is to click on the hyperlink to look at the supporting documentation, such as the memo from staff which provides background information and the invoice.  As such, Washington citizens will have much the same information that City Council members enjoy.  You will be able to closely follow the decisions that your elected officials are making on your behalf.  By the way, you will be inspecting these documents anonymously. Isn't technology great!

In closing, thank you for visiting our site.  I hope you find that it provides useful information and keeps you closer in touch with your elected officials and your community.  If you have any questions, comments or suggestions about this site or the information it contains, please contact me or our city administrator.

Yours in Public Service,

Gary W. Manier
Mayor
