The role of the City Clerk Office dates back to ancient Greek civilizations when scribes would document the government’s actions. City Clerks have always served as historians, recording the proceedings of government, ensuring processes are adhered to and citizens are aware of decisions made. The City Clerk Office acts as the glue that keeps the City government together. Records management, documentation of City Commissions meetings, serving as the liaison between government and citizens, and coordinating with multiple City departments are some of the daily functions the team carries out. The office serves as the City historian by maintaining new and archived public records and facilitating access to appropriate records for elected officials, City staff, and the general public.
