  2. City Council Support - Act as primarily a legislative support to the activities of city council.
  3. Election Administration - The City Clerk's Office provides the forms required to run for municipal office, and works with citizens on the initiative and referendum process, whereby citizens can propose legislation and seek its approval by the voters. The clerk's office also coordinates with the county clerks and recorders to conduct municipal elections.  To obtain a candidate handbook please click on the Elections Administration link to obtain.
