MISSION STATEMENT: We pledge to provide those who live, work and visit Marble Falls with quality service and effective government that is open and responsive to the needs and values of the community.
The City Secretary's Office serves
as the liaison between the City Administration and the elected
officials.
Texas Local Government Code §22.074
states that a person may be certified to serve as City Secretary.
Such training and certification is highly recommended given
the importance and complexities of the position of City
Secretary. The Texas
Municipal Clerks Certification Program requires the
City Secretary to complete two hundred hours of coursework,
successfully pass examinations on a four-course curriculum
and attend eight two-day seminars over a three year period.
Recertification requires an additional eighty hours of professional
development course work and attendance of six two-day seminars
every five years.
The City Secretary prepares all
City Council Agendas and gives notice of City Council Meetings
and other City Board and Commission Meetings and is charged
with attending the meetings and keeping an accurate account
of minutes of such proceedings.
The City Secretary is the custodian of all
official City records, which includes ordinances, resolutions,
contracts, easements and deeds, and provides support to
all departments and divisions in records management procedures.
The City Secretary receives requests for public information
and appropriate records are provided to requesting agencies
and individuals.
The City Secretary also oversees publications
and postings of legal notices, monitors the terms and attendance
of all Boards and Commissions of the City, coordinates municipal
elections, and is the Records Management Officer of the
City.
The City Secretary maintains
the history of the City of Marble Falls, receives and secures
sealed bids, processes all liens and lien releases and serves
as Public Information Officer during emergency events.
