Hub of Local Government

The clerk’s office has many duties imposed upon them by statutes and ordinances, relied upon by the governing body of the municipality, the people of the community, and the employees of the municipality for accurate information concerning the welfare of the city.

Serving as the local intelligence center, the Clerk’s Office has been referred to as “the hub of local government”.
