Mission

The mission of this department is to provide quality legal services, advice and representation to the City Council, City Manager and the City departments.

The attorneys are involved in such varied activities as:

  • Employment policies and issues at the City of Killeen
  • Reviewing claims against the City
  • Reviewing and negotiating contracts
  • Environmental issues
  • Aviation regulations
