That's a special use domain. Your customer (the city of Woodinville, 
Washington USA) always and exclusively owns that domain. Start poking 
around Neustar (the .US TLD registrar) and find out how to proceed. 
This is not a commercial/private domain so the advice in the other 
thread is not appropriate.
