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.

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.

Adobe makes accessibility information and tools available on their website that allow conversion of PDF files to HTML or text. See the Adobe PDF Converter for more information.
