Hypothetical
•During “Oral Communications” for
items not listed on the agenda, a
speaker requested that the
Commission review a new youth job
opportunity program which an
organization has proposed to operate
with the City, as well as the related
contract.
•The Commission voted to review the
proposal and contract and voted to
approve the agreement.
Is this a
Brown Act
violation?
City of South San Francisco22
•Yes; the Commission has taken action on an item
that was not noticed on the agenda. If the item is
not agendized, it cannot be discussed or acted
upon.
•In addition, it is likely that the scope of the request
is outside of the Commission(s)’ scope of duties, as
the commission is not authorized to approve
contracts for the City. Questions related to the
contract probably do not qualify to be placed on
the agenda(s). Any discussions must be limited to
such scope of duties.

PUBLIC SERVICE –BALANCE TRIANGLE
THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY CLERK, AND CITY MANAGER MUST
UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT EACH OTHER’S ROLES AND
SHARE AN OBLIGATION IN MAINTAINING THIS BALANCE.
36
Municipal Clerk: One of the Earliest Government Professions
The municipal clerk, along with the tax collector, is the earliest of public servants. The Office of
Municipal Clerk can be traced back to the year 1272 A.D. in the history of the Corporation of Old
London. In the 1500s in England, there was not only the “Towne Clarke" but also the "Clerc
Comptroller of the King's Honorable Household." In 1603, there was a "Clarke General of the
Armie." King Henry the Eighth had a "Clarke of the Spicery" and King Charles had his "Clerk of the Robes.“
Over the years,Municipal Clerks have become the hub of government,the direct link between the
inhabitants of their towns and their government.The Municipal Clerk is the historian of the
community,for the entire recorded history of the town and its people are in the Clerk’s care.The
eminent political scientist,Professor William Bennett Munro,writing in one of the first textbooks on
municipal administration,stated:
“No other office in municipal service has so many contacts. It serves the Mayor, the City Council, the City Manager (when there is one), and all administrative departments, without exception. All of them call upon it, almost daily, for some service or information. Its work is not spectacular, but it demands versatility, alertness, accuracy, and no end of patience. The publicdoes not realize how many loose ends of city administration this office pulls together.”
Those words are even more appropriate today.In California,there are two ways to become a
Municipal Clerk.One is to be elected by the voters of the community and the other is to be
appointed by either the City Council or City Manager/Special District Manager.This may be the
case for either charter or general law cities.Government Code Section 36501 sets forth the
governing officers of the municipality,one of which is a City Clerk.In order for the office to beappointed,the question must be,at sometime,put to a vote of the people (G.C.Section 36508).

The City Clerk is the local official for elections,local legislation,
the Public Records Act,the Political Reform Act,and the Brown
Act (open meeting laws).Before and after the City Council takes
action,the City Clerk ensures that actions are in compliance with
all federal,state and local statutes and regulations and that all
actions are properly executed,recorded,and archived.
The statutes of the State of California prescribe the basic
functions and duties of the City Clerk,and the Government Code
and Election Code provide precise and specific responsibilities
and procedures to follow.
The Office of the City Clerk is a service department within the
municipal government upon which the City Council,all City
departments,and the general public rely for information
regarding the operations and legislative history of the City.The
City Clerk serves as the liaison between the public and City
Council and provides related municipal services.
