We Got This: A Very Weird Municipal Clerks Week

It's Municipal Clerks Week, and it couldn't be weirder.

One constant we can be sure of though is that city clerks are using their flexibility and dedication to help communities across the state persevere through the COVID-19 pandemic.

City clerks are:

• Learning new skills fast, and then turning around and teaching others.
• Keeping things like bills, notices, critical projects, and reporting obligations on track from near-empty offices or not-so-empty living rooms.
• Ensuring that cities are operating safely and legally for everyone using the best tools available.
• Listening to upset residents and finding answers to their difficult questions.

With information changing by the hour, there have been some stressful days. But that's when city clerks take a deep breath and find a way to keep moving forward.

The League's Executive Director David Unmacht has taken up the mantra "We Got This" to show resolve and positivity in the face of crisis. We all know that great city clerks understand this to their core, and are leading the charge.

One more constant: Because you're here for our communities, we strive to be here for you. Keep the calls and questions coming, and we'll keep doing the best we can to support your work.

Take care, stay safe, and THANK YOU!
