Welcome!
The City Clerk is committed to providing professional service and support to the
City Council, City Staff and the citizens of the community.
What is the City Clerk?
The City Clerk is the local official for elections, local legislation, the Public
Records Act, the Political Reform Act, as well as the Brown Act (open meeting
laws). The City Clerk is appointed by a majority of the total membership of the
City Council, serves at the pleasure of the Council and may be removed at any
time by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total membership of the Council.
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 the City
Council, and provides related municipal services.
What does the City Clerk Do?
Elections - It is the duty of the City Clerk to conduct Municipal Elections in
accordance with the City Charter, the City of Pomona Municipal Code, the
Elections Code and the Political Reform Act of 1974. The City Clerk assists

which forms the foundation of our democratic system of government.
