Records Management

The City Clerk is the custodian of the City’s records and is responsible for administering the City’s records management system utilizing approved procedures for destruction and/or microfilming of inactive records. The City Clerk is responsible for the care and custody of all official records and documents of the City, and researches and disseminates information for the public. These records include, but are not limited to, City Council minutes, ordinances, resolutions, deeds, contracts and agreements. 

Online Records Library

The City has an Online Records Library that provides access to City public records, such as contracts, ordinances, minutes, resolutions, etc. These records do not require submission of a public records request.

Please note, California law designates the vast majority of the City’s records as available for public disclosure. These laws also provide certain categories of records that are exempt from public disclosure, such as personnel records, records related to current litigation, or current real estate negotiations.
