1970-1989 English .
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.
Notebooks and binders covering a variety of issues relevant to nearly
all core functions of City government. Most of the notebooks were compiled for
City Council members to provide background information for pending legislation.
A large number of the notebooks are from Tim Hill, Jeanette Williams, and
George Benson.
Records are open to the public.
