What is a City Clerk?

“The City Clerk is the local official who administers democratic processes such as access to city records, elections, and all legislative actions ensuring transparency to the public.  The City Clerk acts as a compliance officer for federal, state, and local statutes.  The City Clerk manages public inquiries and relationships and arranges for ceremonial and official functions.”
