We did this site a couple of years ago for a fast-growing town of 10K
(haven't touched it since so I'm not sure what shape it's in):
http://ci.erie.co.us/
CMS is FarCry, an open source Cold Fusion product:
http://farcry.daemon.com.au/
We've since used FarCry a lot (dozens of sites, small and large) but the
IT dept at the Town selected the CMS originally after a pretty thorough
review of the options, then asked us to implement it.
FarCry does well with news and events and I think that was the kicker.
