The Office of City Clerk is an
elected position with duties
prescribed in the Arkansas State
Constitution through various
legislative acts of the General
Assembly.
City clerks of cities of the first
class, having the mayor-council form
of government, are elected for
four-year terms.
A few of the duties prescribed by
state law are as follows:
A.C.A. section 14-43-506 stipulates
that the city clerk "shall have
custody of all the laws and
ordinances of the city and shall
keep a regular and correct journal
of the proceedings of the city
council."
A.C.A. section 14-43-406 requires
the city clerk to maintain the
official seal of the city to be
affixed to all transcripts, orders,
or certificates for the purpose of
authenticating city documents.
A.C.A. section 14-54-302 provides
that the city clerk shall execute
documents for the purchase, lease
and sale of property, in conjunction
with the mayor when authorized by a
resolution by a majority vote of the
city council.
Bids for sale or purchase by any
city department are coordinated
through the city clerk's office, as
are all legal publications for the
city.
