Village Clerk Overview
The Village Clerk is elected by the residents of the village
to a four year term. Duties of the Village Clerk include:
- Attending all official meetings of the corporate
authorities, and preparing the official minutes, subject to
the direction and approval of the corporate authorities.
- Provide the village seal and attest for all ordinances,
resolutions, contracts, and bonds of the village, and such
licenses, permits and other documents as require this
formality.
- Act as the custodian of the village seal and affix its
impression on documents whenever required. Arrange the
placing of such advertisements or notices as may from time
to time be required by statute, ordinance or direction of
the village board.
- Act as the custodian of all documents belonging to the
village which are not assigned to the custody of some other
officer.
- Keep and maintain a proper index of all documents and
records so that ready access thereto may be had.
- Perform other duties as required by state law and as may
from time to time be delegated by the president and board of
trustees.
In case the office of Village Clerk becomes
vacant for any reason, the President and Board of Trustees
appoint a successor as is provided by law. The clerk may
authorize any qualified person to act in his or her absence from
the village hall, by written delegation. During any temporary
absence of the clerk from the village hall, or during any
temporary disability of the clerk which prevents him or her from
exercising the duties of office, the corporate authorities may
by resolution, appoint a deputy clerk to perform the duties of
the office, but no such appointment by resolution shall extend
beyond the temporary absence or disability of the clerk, except
with the consent of the clerk.
