The City of Longview maintains a centralized directory of executive communications and departmental reports intended to provide residents with direct access to city operations and the use of public funds. According to official city records, the archive includes monthly updates from City Manager Jennifer Wills, summaries of community summits, and progress reports on annual goals.

The directory, hosted on the city’s website, serves as a record of communication between the City Manager, the City Council, and the public. These documents track performance against established priorities and provide summaries of community feedback from local summits involving residents and stakeholders. The archive includes historical documents such as the July 15, 2025, City Manager Six-Month Impact Summary and an August 7, 2025, update titled "Six Months In – Looking Ahead with Gratitude and Purpose."

Recent entries in the "On the Move with the City Manager" series include:

  • April 21, 2026: What Readiness Looks Like
  • March 10, 2026: Leadership Doesn’t Happen by Accident
  • February 10, 2026: Longview at the Table
  • January 20, 2026: Community First Service

These communications provide context for several ongoing city initiatives. As previously reported on July 31, 2026, the city is currently managing a public review period for its 2026 Annual Action Plan regarding federal housing grants. The city is also preparing for a November 3, 2026, ballot measure, Proposition 1, which seeks a property tax levy lid lift of $1.15 per $1,000 of assessed value to fund a third fire station and emergency staffing.

In addition to executive letters, the directory hosts 2026 Department Updates. These monthly summaries are designed to demonstrate how service delivery aligns with city priorities, including administrative oversight of programs such as the rental health and safety code enforcement process established under the Washington State Residential Landlord-Tenant Act.

The full directory of communications and reports is available through the City of Longview website.
