the success of any lUli t of government is measured by
its ability to meet the needs of its people; and
the Municipal Clerk is important to the cOIIlffilUlity as a
whole -- the keystone of efficient and responsive local
governmen t; and
the Municipal Clerk provides continuity, knowing what
went on in the past and how it will affect what is done
today, thus more ably assisting in the initiating and
planning of conrmmi ty programs; and
the HI..micipal Clerk records the proceedings and decisions
of the legislative body, implements its directives, com-
piles its reports, and preserves the city's records for
posterity; and
the Municipal Clerk accomplishes these and a host of other
tasks with which he or she is charged in the catch-all
phrase of the job description that reads, "...and other
duties as the COlUlcil may require of the Clerk"; and
it is most appropriate that we recognize and recall that
this historic nn..micipal office grew out of the traditions
of our democratic heritage, and still remains most viable
in today' s structured, government;

TO: THE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL
Especially in these times of instability, we need to remind
our citizens of the soundness of our local government and
the very competent people who administer it. There is no
other country in the world today which has such a successful
democratic system operating at the grass roots level of gov-
ernment.
In observance of this, the week of May 10th to the 16th has
been designated Municipal Clerk.s Week.
The success of any unit of government is measured by its
ability to meet the needs of its people. The Municipal Clerk
is important to the community as a whole, serving as the key-
stone of efficient and responsive local government.
Today.s Municipal Clerk is truly a professional -- a person
who serves the local legislative body and its committees,
the department heads and their staff, and the general public
with consideration and dispatch.
Today.s municipal clerks are also professionals in the sense
that they realize the importance of continually learning what
is happening on the urban scene and updating their skills to
more efficiently operate their office. Literally thousands
of municipal clerks are returning to the classroom every year
to expand their education and to learn how to better deal with
the changing times.
In recognition of a dedicated and unselfish public servant
and to call attention to the services provided to your citizens,
I urge you to proclaim Municipal Clerk's Week and to celebrate
it with appropriate observances.
