Description of Office
The activities of the Office of the City Clerk are planned and managed to assist the City Council in accomplishing the legislative process. The City Clerk also prepares the Council agenda and maintains minutes of Council proceedings. The retention and retrieval of official records and the maintenance of the Legislative History File is done to ensure accessibility and continuity of public records. Through the Clerk’s office, legal notices are published, posted, and mailed; bids are received and opened and contracts and agreements are processed. The Municipal Code and Council Policy Manual are also maintained and updated on a continuing basis. Notary public services are also available in the City Clerk’s office. In short, we provide information and assistance to the public.
Additionally, voter’s registration and election duties are the responsibility of the City Clerk. General and special elections are held in accordance with the City Charter and the State of Illinois Election Codes for the purpose of electing City Council Members and the Mayor at the appropriate times and to submit measures to the electorate, including charter amendments and bond issues. Provisions of the Illinois Political Reform Act are administered year round. Special elections may be called for by referendum or initiative measures or, for filling unscheduled vacancies on the City Council.
