City Clerk

The City Clerk provides the necessary link between the City Administration and City Council, separate legislative and administrative arenas. The Clerk is largely responsible for developing and administering the processes for bringing forth the Mayor and City Administrator's requests for legislative direction and action, and for recording and promulgating the Council's policies and directions. The City Clerk compiles and distributes twice-monthly Council agendas and packets, and is also responsible for maintaining City records as the official records depository and archivist for Ferndale

New City Clerk Sam Taylor also directs management of city communications through its website and social media feeds and is working to provide more public information on the city's website.
