Mission
"To provide public information; to provide support to the Board of Commissioners; and to preserve the legislative history of the City."
Welcome to the City Clerk's homepage. Evone Bradley was appointed to the position of City Clerk in December 2005. The City Clerk performs various professional and managerial duties according to Statute and Municipal Code.
Legislative Administration - The City Clerk facilitates the execution of official and legislative processes. This includes publishing of the agenda for the Board of Commissioners, attesting to the passing of all orders and ordinances, managing the recruitment process for positions on Boards and Commissions, the updating of the Codified Code, provides legislative certifications as needed, maintains the roster of City Boards and Commissions and attends all City Commission meetings.
Records Management - The City Clerk records official actions and legislation of the municipal government, documenting the proceedings of meetings and retaining other legal and historical records. Records are maintained while providing appropriate public access to government business. The City Clerk inventories, transfers, stores, retrieves, destroys, and properly maintains City records and information according to state statute, and helps to preserve City history. The City Clerk is responsible for training City departments concerning records management systems, policies, standards and guidelines.
The three primary functions in the area of records management consist of the following: research, records management, and the records center. The research function manages the receipt, preservation and distribution of a number of City documents, including, but not limited to: ordinances, orders, resolutions, approved minutes, and contracts. The purpose of the Records Management and the Records Center programs are to assist City employees in finding records efficiently and cost-effectively. The programs also helps departments manage records so that the City identifies records with permanent value, retains records it is required to keep, and disposes of those with no further value in a secure and timely manner.
The City of Newport is constantly looking for ways to use information technology to improve these services. One thing that will not change, however, is the personal touch the City Clerk gives to the citizens. It is the City Clerk’s ability to balance this with the high business standards, which makes our City truly unique.
