CITY CLERK: ONE OF THE EARLIEST GOVERNMENT PROFESSIONS

The city clerk has one of the most forward-facing roles in the City of Murrieta and is the official secretary of the City Council.

The municipal clerk (city clerk) and the tax collector are the earliest public servants. The Office of Municipal Clerk can be traced back to the year 1272 A.D. in the history of the Corporation of Old London. The early keepers of the archives were often called remembrancers, and before writing came into use, their memory was the public record.

Over decades the role of the city clerk has evolved into an impartial local official that serves constituents, legislative bodies, joint-governmental agencies, the city attorney, and all city departments.
