The City Clerk's office is responsible for paying the bills of the City, keeping the public records, sending out utility bills to customers, managing the City's assets, monitoring financial, accounting and fiscal activities, and operating the local transportation program. The city has about 3,400 electric accounts and 2,500 water and sewer accounts. Nearly 40,000 bills are mailed out to customers, received and processed.
Many customers have their utility bill directly withdrawn from their bank account.
The City's level payment utility bill program continues to grow. Public Records Ordinances and resolutions passed by the City Council are filed in the City Clerk's Office. Minutes of the City Council meetings are kept on file as part of the public record. Cemetery records are also kept in the City Clerk's Office, and all burials and purchases of burial plots are recorded.
