The Office of the City Clerk (OCC) supports the City’s goal of transparency by preserving and providing public access to Council-approved documents, promoting City-wide compliance with records retention laws and facilitating the legislative process.
What’s New?
The Office of the City Clerk, in cooperation with the Austin History Center, has completed a project to scan the oldest available Council meeting minutes and publish them via the web. A complete set of City Council meeting minutes from late 1869 through the present is now available on the Council Meeting Minutes Archives page.
Council Support
By charter, the City Clerk is appointed by the City Council. The Council relies on OCC to manage Council approved records per legal requirements and provide other support services.
Official Council Documents
OCC provides public access to such Council-approved documents, council meeting agendas and minutes, ordinances, resolutions, election documents, and more via the Council Meeting Information Center.
Records Management
OCC provides consulting and training to City departments on records management systems, policies, standards, and guidelines. OCC also inventories, transfers, stores, retrieves and retains records from City departments according to State law.
