## Departments

24 departments, A to Z, as the City's [departments page](https://raleighnc.gov/departments) lists them. 16 of the 24 department pages name who runs the department. Where a page names nobody, this list shows a dash. It never fills the gap from the City's staff directory.

A dash (—) means the City does not publish that field, never zero. "Inferred" marks a value this site worked out, such as a council district placed from a location. This is the markdown twin of https://raleigh-projects.pages.dev/city-hall. Every page and data file is listed in https://raleigh-projects.pages.dev/llms.txt.
