PURPOSE
The purpose of the City of Redwood Falls' website is to provide the public with convenient and efficient access to information about Redwood Falls agencies, programs and services. In order to provide the user with information about cultural, educational and recreational activities in the City, the City's website may contain links to other web or computer sites that are not owned, regularly reviewed, or controlled by the City.

The provision of these links should not be construed as an endorsement or sponsorship of these external websites, their content, or their hosts. The City specifically disavows legal responsibility for what a user may find on another site, or for the personal opinions of individuals posted on any site, whether or not operated by the City. The views and opinions of the authors of documents published on or linked to the City's website do not necessarily state or reflect the opinion, policy or position of the City.
