The office and duties of the City Clerk are established by state statute and local ordinance and cover a host of municipal responsibilities. Primary among these are the maintenance of official records and documents, custody of the City seal, licensing, attendance at and recording of council proceedings, administration of oaths, attestation and certification of documents, publication of ordinances, and compliance with the Freedom of Information and Open Meetings Act.

Although the Illinois Legislature has established the County as the primary election authority, the City Clerk continues to serve as the Local Election Official and is responsible for voter registration and municipal election duties pertaining to nomination petitions, ballots, and election results.
