City Clerk
The City Clerk, appointed by the Board of Aldermen, is responsible for maintaining all official City records, including documenting decisions made by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, recording election results and other official City business in compliance with the law. The City Clerk's Office also assists residents, local business owners, and event planners by issuing licenses and permits.
The Deputy City Clerk plays a key role in supporting these efforts, helping to manage the workload and maintain efficiency. Together, we serve as a trusted source of information for City employees and residents, promoting transparency and easy access to public records.
Here's a brief overview of what we do:
Public Records
The Office of the City Clerk stores important documents like legal records, Board of Aldermen meeting minutes, agendas, deeds, ordinances, resolutions, alcohol permits, contracts, and historical and regulatory information according to City ordinance and state law.
The public is entitled to request public records from the City under the Missouri Sunshine Law. Please visit Public Records Request to learn more or to make an online records request.
The City Clerk's Office also follows Missouri state rules for keeping and properly disposing of records when needed.
