The City Clerk maintains the City's legislative records, official
filings, and the Seattle Municipal Archives; keeps the minutes of City Council
meetings; and provides information services to City agencies and the public.
Seattle's first City Charter allowed for a Clerk of the Common Council to be
elected by the Council. In 1875 the position of City Clerk became elective and
remained so until 1896 when the new Charter designated the Comptroller
ex-officio City Clerk. The Comptroller served as City Clerk through 1992. A
1991 City Charter amendment transferred the Comptroller's function to the
Department of Finance and the City Clerk's Office became a division of the
Legislative Department effective in 1993.
Petitions, requests, agreements, and resolutions related to vendors,
water system, special police, comfort stations, and property disposition during
and after the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (AYPE). The AYPE was Seattle's
first "world's fair" and was held on the present grounds of the University of
Washington.
Records are open to the public.
A Comptroller or Clerk File (CF) can consist of correspondence, reports,
petitions, contracts, agreements, etc. from elected officials, City
departments, other government agencies, or the general public, which have been
placed "on file" with the Office of the City Clerk (OCC). They are primarily
permanent records, but also include routine material which was periodically
purged. Certain archival records identified in the CF have been removed,
arranged into records series, and incorporated into the collection of the
Seattle Municipal Archives, a program of the OCC.
