The role of city clerks has evolved steadily over the years, but the digital age and the pandemic have brought change at an unprecedented rate. Gone are the days where city clerks simply managed paper records and facilitated meetings. Now, they have to deal with complex legal issues, ensure records management compliance, and engage the public in meaningful ways. Luckily, SnapSite is here to help.
City Government Operations
City government operations have become increasingly complex, and city clerks have an essential role in ensuring that everything runs smoothly. With more and more city services moving online, city clerks must keep abreast of cybersecurity threats, digital privacy laws, and data protection legislation. By using SnapSite, city clerks can take advantage of the state-of-the-art software that ensures secure, reliable, and easy-to-use digital solutions.
Legal Issues for Municipalities
Legal issues for municipalities have also become more complicated. State and federal regulations change frequently, and it is the city clerk’s responsibility to keep up with the latest legal developments. In addition, digital records bring their own set of legal issues, including e-discovery and electronic signature verification. With SnapSite, city clerks have access to compliance expert support, industry-leading tools, and up-to-date legal guidance.
Record Management
Record management is a critical element of the city clerk’s job. Municipalities must keep public records in accordance with state laws and regulations, which vary by state. These rules apply to both paper and digital records, which means city clerks must be adept at managing hybrid systems. With SnapSite, city clerks can digitize their documents and ensure that they are properly indexed, searchable, and easy to access. SnapSite offers cloud-based storage solutions that can easily integrate with existing record-keeping systems.

SnapSite’s easy-to-use tools allow users to create professional-quality communications without extensive training or technical expertise.
The role of city clerks has evolved significantly in the digital age. They must embrace technology, keep up with the latest legal trends, manage complex record-keeping systems, and engage the public.
