WHEREAS, municipal government, in order to best serve the needs of
the citizenry, must be operated with efficiency and in an
orderly manner; and
WHEREAS, the efficiency and order with which government carries out
its public functions is strongly reliant on procedures and
records; and
WHEREAS, the Municipal Clerks administer the procedures and keep the
records; and
WHEREAS, an organized source of knowledge about a community and its
government activities is vital to the smooth governing of
that municipality; and
WHEREAS, the Municipal Clerks provide and maintain such a body of
knowledge; and
WHEREAS, the strength of local government depends upon the citizens'
opinion of it, and such opinion is formed largely by the
image set forth by the municipal government employees; and
WHEREAS, the Municipal Clerk is the municipal official most closely
in daily contact with the citizenry, and therefore is a key
position to mold sound public opinion; and
WHEREAS, during our Bicentennial Observance, it is most appropriate
that we recognize an historic municipal office which grew
out of the traditions of our democratic heritage.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Mary C. Neuhauser, Mayor of the City of Iowa City,
do hereby proclaim the week of May10 through May 14, 1976, as MJNICIPAL
CLERK'S WEEK in recognition of the vital services they perform and their
outstanding dedication to the communities they represent.
