MuniciPals is a monthly podcast hosted by the City of Duluth, Minnesota. Our goal is to highlight how the City operates, what each department and division does, and what services they provide, as well as discuss issues facing Duluth.
Recorded in November before the snow was here to stay, we remained optimistic about the winter months. Hear from City Attorney, Rebecca St. George, and how her department basically does it all and is connected to pretty much everything the City does. Enjoy!
Happy (almost) Halloween! It's scary to think that snow's around the corner, but hear from Jim Benning, Director of Public Works and Utilities about how you can be prepared. He also does A LOT of other things – like…a lot. Spoiler alert: the guy oversees the Aerial Lift Bridge. And so much more. Enjoy!
We're back (bet you didn't even know we were gone)! Our latest episode is with Carl Crawford, the City's Human Rights Officer. He seemed like the right choice after a long, pandemic-induced hiatus. We hope you enjoy the episode.
For our second episode, we hear from Chelsea Helmer about what Administrative Services does. It's pretty important stuff, so please forgive Phil's phone ringing in the middle of it.
MuniciPals, episode one. We're trying something new here, so listen in as we delve into what a Mayor and CAO does.
