CITY CLERK

HIGHLIGHTS (Q3 2021 – July through September)

The City’s budget preparations began during the third quarter. To assist in the process, the Clerk’s Office works with Administration to coordinate the necessary City Council Meetings and Work Sessions for annual CIP and Operating Budget discussions.

In July, an Election was conducted to determine the City’s new Council President and Council Vice President, and the new City Council Line of Succession was established by lottery. In August, our Councilmembers were appointed to the Council’s Street Committee and as Council Liaisons to the City’s Boards, Commissions and Committees.

In September, two of our City Councilmembers attended the MML’s Annual Conference, held at Union Station in St. Louis this year. The Clerk’s Office handles these arrangements; Conference and Event Registrations and Conference Packet preparations. Follow-up includes expense reimbursements and invoice payments. In addition, one of our Deputy City Clerks attended the Missouri City Clerks and Finance Officers Association (MoCCFOA) annual Master Academy which is held on the first day of the MML Conference.

We’re making headway with the uploading of our past Ordinances and Resolutions to “E-Code” on the City’s Website. As this project progresses, the Community, along with our City’s Staff, will have online access to more of the City’s past legislative documents.

Our new Deputy, Emily, is our Records Manager, and she has made significant progress with the following:

o Launched our G1 Storage Area Clean-Up and Reorganization Project. (See photos on the next page)

Identified 71 boxes of files stored on G1 that had been microfilmed; determined these files were on file with the state and met destruction criteria.

Received Council approval to dispose of the 71 boxes on September 7 and proceeded with destruction on September 17.

Identified nine boxes of Board of Adjustment minutes dated 1969-1991 that had been microfilmed and were on file with the state; these files will be placed on a Records Destruction Form for approval at a future Council Meeting.

Reorganized the remaining boxes stored in the Clerk’s space on G1 into three sections: Ordinances, Resolutions and Contracts.

Reduced the amount of G1 storage space utilized by the Clerk’s Office by 50% (nine full shelves to four and a half shelves).

Developed plans to review, categorize and either archive or destroy the files stored in the remaining boxes.

o Established records management priorities and projects and created a project board to display the status of each item. (See photos on the next page)

Inventoried files stored in The Clerk’s Office in an effort to establish a schedule for future projects.

Inventoried microfilm repository and organized the contents of the drawers. Gathered Resolutions from 2013-2018 and sent for microfilming. Reviewed 1998 files. Separated permanent and non-permanent records. Disseminated 2021 General Record Retention Schedule and 2021 Municipal

Record Retention Schedule to the Custodian of Records for each Department (this document is updated annually in August).

CITY CLERK


During our third quarter, members of the City Clerk’s Staff participated as members of the Communication Ambassador Committee and the Employee Recognition Committee.

In July, the two Deputy City Clerks attended the Monthly Eastern Division Meeting of the MoCCFOA.

In September, the two Deputy City Clerks attended the City’s required Fraud and Ethics Training.

During our third quarter, the City Clerk and members of her staff attended a total of 12 City Council Meetings and Council Sub Committee Meetings. Preparations involve generating the Agenda and coordinating with other departments to obtain agenda items. The most significant and critical post-meeting responsibility is the preparation, compilation and proofing/editing of minutes for each meeting.

During the first three quarters of 2021 the City Clerk’s Office processed 150 Ordinances, 32 Resolutions and 292 Contracts (not including Change Orders, Amendments, Renewals or Easements.)

During the first three quarters of 2021 the City Clerk’s Office processed or assisted with 175 Official Records Requests (Sunshine Law Requests) received from the public (individuals, businesses, law firms, other organizations, etc.) This number does not include requests that are currently pending, or the requests we regularly receive from our City Departments/Employees.

MUNICIPAL COURTS


The Court has moved forward with a new plan to resolve adjudicated cases that have not had

any action on them for quite some time. We have joined with Linebarger (a collection agency)

to contact these defendants and hopefully collect the uncollectable. We have started to see

some positivity with payments. There isn't much, but it is a start.

We sent three Court Associates to the Fall MACA Conference in September. The training

covered fingerprint cards, docket coding of cases, bank reconciliation, and questions and

answers sessions. They brought much-needed information back, which we will implement.

We are still having in-person sessions for Court. The only difference now is that we are

requesting that you wear a mask while in the Courtroom. There has been a slow increase of

more defendants coming back to Court. We are hoping to see this increase more over time.

I want to thank this team I work with. This team is always striving to achieve a more efficient

way of doing processes and procedures.
