The Office of the City Clerk (City Clerk) is responsible for providing legislative support and meeting facilitation, processing items submitted for Council's consideration, record keeping, publishing legal notices and ordinances, attesting contracts, accepting claims against the City, and providing information to the public. The current systems used to manage many of these tasks are out of date, inefficient for workflow, vulnerable to security breaches, and require payment to multiple contractors. In addition, the City Clerk indicates the Department receives numerous complaints from the public and City staff regarding the current systems search functionality and the inability to quickly and easily retrieve information.
