COMMUNITY SERVICES DIVISION AT A GLANCE

Budget Summary

The Community Services Division includes Public Grounds, Senior Lifestyles, Communications and
Marketing, the Public Library, Historical Services, Special Events, and the Commission for the Arts. In
FY 2019-2020, the Community Services Division budget increased 8.35% overall due to a merit
adjustment, increased operations and maintenance costs, and the addition of three part-time positions. In
2019, the City purchased the downtown museum from the Mansfield Historical Society, completely
taking over the operations and maintenance costs of the building. Additionally, City Council chose to
convert the Man House, the residence of one of the city’s founders, into a secondary museum of local
history. Finally, the Commission for the Arts budget increased to support advertising and promotions for
special events at the downtown Farr Best Theater.
