The City's community relations function - which is part of the City Clerk's Office - serves to inform the public of the various services, programs and activities of the City of Midland. Citizens can easily find information about their city government through our standard communications vehicles such as weekly press releases, new information posted continuously to this website and the MGTV-5 message board, newsletter mailings to Midland citizens, a weekly e-newsletter, and the monthly video show, "City in 15" on MGTV Cable Channel 5.
