The small city I work for is looking to setup public WiFi in the building.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a brand or specific models? Will only need 3 APs to cover all of the building as the public areas are not very large and a single floor.
 
Speed of traffic, number of devices supported needed, any specific requirements on wifi type?

Ubiquiti is a solid choice overall.
 
What infrastructure do you have now?

If you have Cisco, the Meraki series is a good option.

Charter Fiber with a new Foritnet Firewall.
I don't know the model number off the top of my head. Good unit though with multiple Lan ports for isolation.

I was looking at Ubiquiti as an option.
Maybe 10 users daily and then during events surging to 25+ on an outdoor model.
Wanted to get the inside done then look at an external AP for events in the parking lot.

If you already have a fortinet firewall, the fortiAP line is pretty solid as well and can probably be managed by the firewall you already.
They're on par with Ubituiti but cost a little more (but you get a lot better support options)
