COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DIVISION AT A GLANCE

               Budget Summary

               The Community Engagement Division was formed to increase public engagement using the many social
               media channels and digital media, as well as create excitement that markets tourism through sports,
               festivals, and creative art events. The Community Engagement Division is comprised of four departments
               that together focus on increasing communication and outreach efforts to involve the citizens of Mansfield
               and build a sense of community between residents, businesses, and the City staff.  It includes
               Communications and Marketing, Neighborhood Services, Special Events, and Cultural Arts.

               The Community Engagement budget increased 17.61% in FY 2022-2023. Communications and
               Marketing experienced a significant increase in personnel costs due to the addition of one full-time
               equivalent position, the addition of the Communications and Marketing Director, which was formerly
               budgeting in Neighborhood Outreach, and by absorbing an additional 25% distribution of the Community
               Engagement Director’s salary. Special Events increased their budget to expand services such as
               Hometown Holidays and other City events.
