Holly Springs Code of Ordinances

The Town Clerk's Office serves as a direct link between citizens of the community and their government. Every town, city, village, and tribe in the world has at least one person who – by whatever title he or she is known – serves in the role of town clerk: custodian of official public records; communicator of public policy; organizer of public business; recorder of the community's history; performer of many varied tasks that assist in the smooth operation of local governance.

In writing one of the first-ever textbooks published on municipal administration, Professor William Bennett Munro stated in 1934, "No other office in municipal service has so many contacts. The Municipal Clerk's Office serves the citizens, the mayor, the city council, the city manager/administrator, and all administrative and operational departments of the city 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 public does not realize how many loose ends of city administration this office pulls together."

On a daily basis in Holly Springs, the Town Clerk's Office stays busy:

• Organizing meetings of the Holly Springs Town Council
• Serving as custodian of Town records
• Responding to requests for information from citizens, businesses, media and other agencies
• Preparing or assisting in the preparation of informational products for distribution to the public
• Recording today's events for tomorrow's history
• Keeping up with new technologies and methods of record-keeping
• Continuing education so that citizens receive the most knowledgeable service possible
