Clerk’s Office

Welcome to the village clerk’s area of the village’s website.

To give you a quick history, know that the village clerk is the official record keeper, the librarian for the village. My duties follow state statute and village ordinance. The village clerk attends board and committee meetings, publishes resolutions and ordinances and serves as the custodian of all village documents not held by another village officer. I am also the village’s local elections official.
