Research Services
Since the City Clerk's office has responsibility
for maintaining official City records (ordinances, contracts,
resolutions and
other vital documents), many citizens approach this office for
research or seeking information. Many historic records are
available
on microfilm. Copies of proposed ordinances are available, along
with minutes of public meetings. The City Clerk can also provide
information on the political process. Check here for Records that
are available on-line.
The Springfield City
Charter,
first approved in 1953 by Springfield voters, is available
for
inspection and/or purchase ($6).
Citizen opportunities for involvement
The City Clerk is available to assist citizens with information
to become better informed, and to provide opportunities to get more
involved. Please follow this link to learn more about the Volunteer
Boards and Commissions. The Public
Involvement Committee, made up of the four zone council members,
considers applications for appointment to boards and commissions.
