The office of the City Clerk serves as the keeper of the City Seal and all records adopted by the Mayor and Board of City Commissioners (minutes, ordinances, and resolutions) and management of the official Code of Ordinances. Mandated by state law, the Office of the City Clerk maintains Elected Officials (Mayor and Board of City Commissioners) Campaign Filings, including campaign contribution forms, financial disclosure forms, etc., including those seeking re-election and/or new elections. Additionally, the City Clerk assists with agenda preparation, maintains all City-appointed boards, provides administrative support, including travel arrangements, and maintains financial reports for the Mayor and the Board of City Commissioners. In 2005, a records management program was established to digitize all official permanent documents of the City of Albany. As a result of this project, an Archive Building was constructed with SPLOST funds to house older documents in a controlled environment, thereby preserving the records. For information regarding these records, please contact Thronateeska Heritage Center.
The City Commission meetings are now held in person and virtually, utilizing video conferencing technology. The meeting will stream live on Facebook, Channel 16, the City's YouTube channel, and the City’s website.
