The city of Buckeye will honor members of its Office of the City Clerk staff by formally recognizing them during Municipal Clerks Week, May 3 through 9.

The City Clerk’s Office is a direct link for residents needing to do business with the city, a city news release stated.

Anything related to the business of running the city must go through the clerk’s office and they must follow all state and county laws throughout the process. This includes:

• Adhering to open meeting laws
• Properly managing and distributing public records
• Being the official custodian of all legal documents and historical records
• Managing and overseeing all elections
• Ensuring City Code and Ordinances are followed
• Coordinating standards to meet ADA standards

The function of the clerk’s office is something residents take for granted, but their professionalism and superior standards ensure the city is operating efficiently and effectively, the release stated.

Municipal Clerks Week is sponsored by the International Institute of Municipal Clerks, an international organization with more than 14,500 members throughout the U.S., Canada and 15 other countries.
