Celebrating 50th Anniversary of Municipal Clerk’s Week

The Clerk’s Office will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Municipal Clerk’s Week May 5-11, 2019.  Read all about it in the Mayoral Proclamation honoring Public Service Recognition Week that was delivered at the April 22 Assembly Meeting.

Many folks ask what it is the Clerk’s office does. Here’s a sample of just some of the tasks we carry out:

  • Provide staff support to the Assembly and its subcommittees,
  • Manage public records requests and serves as the custodian of historical and permanent records,
  • Serve as the Elections Official and conduct the annual Municipal Elections,
  • Manage the CBJ Meeting Calendar and serve as the CBJ information hub/public notice center,
  • Administer CBJ’s 30+ boards, commissions, committees and task forces consisting of approximately 230 community volunteers,
  • Administer appeals before the Assembly and its various appeal boards,
  • Coordinate local government review of liquor licenses and marijuana licenses,
  • Provide Notary Public services to staff and the public…
  • …and much, much more!

What is a City Clerk?

The eminent political scientist, Professor William Bennett Munro, writing in one of the first textbooks on municipal administration (1934) stated:

“No other office in municipal service has so many contacts. It serves the mayor, the city council, the city manager (when there is one), and all administrative departments without exception. All of them call upon it, almost daily, for some service or information. Its work is not spectacular, but it demands versatility, alertness, accuracy, and no end of patience. The public does not realize how many loose ends of city administration this office pulls together.”

These words, written over 50 years ago, are even more appropriate today.

We are located in City Hall Room 202 and welcome visitors! Stop by to say hello!!!
