The City Clerk's Office team is incrementally automating all facets of the office as the ultimate goal is to provide customers with "a quick click" to a form via our website and in-house application development for our services. Currently we are developing a new Intranet-based Dog Licensing application in concert with the Technical Department of which implementation will take place in January 2008. We will be adding more links to the City Clerk's page to facilitate your needs.
