On the second Tuesday following his election the Mayor shall
appoint the City Clerk, subject to the approval of the Common Council,
for a term of two years or until his successor shall have been appointed
and qualified, unless removed for cause. The salary of the City Clerk
shall be set by ordinance.
[1]
Editor's Note: Approved by the electorate at the general
election held 11-4-1980.
(Sp. Laws 1913, No. 352, § 67.)
The Clerk of said city shall also be Clerk of the Council, and
shall keep records of all the votes and proceedings of said city,
and of said Council. He shall cause the ordinances of said city to
be published according to law, and, when so published, shall enter
upon the records his certificate thereof. He shall cause to be served
by the City Sheriff or other proper officer all notices or orders
of the Council and shall enter upon the records the return of such
service. He shall issue over his signature such licenses and permits
as may be granted by said Council or prescribed by the charter and
ordinances of said city, and shall make a record thereof in a book
kept for that purpose; he shall collect the money due for such licenses
or permits and pay the same to the Treasurer of said city every 30
days; and he shall collect all such bills as the Council may order,
and account for the same to said Treasurer. He shall perform all such
duties as may be required of him by this act or by any vote or ordinance
of said Council and shall also record all amendments to this Charter
and all ordinances passed by the Council in a book kept for that purpose.
He shall keep his office open at such hours as the Council shall direct.
He shall be Clerk of the Board of Estimate and Taxation and shall
keep true records of all the votes and proceedings of said Board,
which records shall be at all times open to public inspection and
preserved in the records of the city.[2] He shall be the Clerk of the Board of Assessors and of
the Board of Relief. All records of such Clerk shall have the same
validity as records of Town Clerks and shall be in all courts evidence
of the truth of the matters therein contained, and a duly certified
copy of any such records shall be received in all courts as evidence
of the same validity as the original record.[3]
(Sp. Laws 1947, No. 208, § 2.)
In addition to the duties prescribed in the existing provisions
of the Charter, the City Clerk shall perform such duties as are assigned
to him by the Mayor. In the absence of the Mayor and President of
the Council, the City Clerk shall attend all meetings of all Boards
and Commissions of which the Mayor is a member or an ex officio member,
but at such meetings he shall have no vote.
(Sp. Laws 1913, No. 352, § 68.)
The Council may at any time appoint an Assistant Clerk who,
having been duly qualified, shall, in the absence or in case of the
disability or death of said Clerk, perform all the duties of the Clerk,
and all records and acts of said assistant shall have the same validity
as the records of said Clerk.
