The Office of City Clerk is an elected position with duties prescribed by the Arkansas State Constitution through various legislative acts of the Arkansas General Assembly.

City clerks of cities of the first class, having the mayor-council form of government, are elected for four-year terms.

In cities over fifty thousand (50,000) population, the election is in November of 1968 and every four years thereafter, e.g. 1996, 2000, 2004. The term of office commences January 1 following the November election.

A few of the duties prescribed by state law are as follows:

A.C.A. §14-43-506 - Stipulates that the city clerk “shall have custody of all the laws and ordinances of the city, and shall maintain a correct journal of the proceedings of the city council.”
A.C.A. §14-43-406 - Requires the city clerk to maintain the official seal of the city to be affixed to all transcripts, orders, and certificates for the purpose of authenticating city documents.
A.C.A. §14-54-302 - Executes the purchase, lease and sale of property, in conjunction with the mayor, when authorized by resolution by a majority vote of the city council.
A.C.A. §16-17-211 - Receives, files and retains the Code of Ethics and Financial Disclosure Statements from appointed municipal commissioners and elected officials, including the mayor, aldermen, clerk, treasurer, city attorney, and municipal judge.

The clerk’s supportive duties, to citizens and the city council comprise the office’s most important set of responsibilities. It is the clerk who is the contact between the citizens and the government, and the establishment of a clear and lasting record of the governing body’s actions will be as important today as it will be in the future.
