OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK
MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission
FROM: Ellisa L. Horvath, MMC, City Clerk "J
DATE: February 14, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution Supporting Public Records Exemption for Municipal
Clerks
February 20, 2025 City Commission Regular Workshop Agenda
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission provide consensus to procced with the
placement of a resolution on the March 4, 2025 City Commission Meeting Agenda
supporting a public records exemption for municipal clerks, based on the attached sample
resolution provide by the Florida Association of City Clerks.
BACKGROUND
The Florida Association of City Clerks (FACC) has adopted a resolution in support of a
public records exemption for Municipal Clerks and is requesting that resolutions be
adopted in municipalities throughout the State of Florida urging the same. The FACC
Board of Directors is considering how to pursue state legislation to provide a public
records exemption for the personal information of current Municipal Clerks and
employees who perform municipal elections work. The Miami -Dade County Municipal
Clerks Association (MDCMCA) is also urging municipalities to adopt resolutions.
Many municipal staff who perform duties that include, or result in, investigations into
complaints regarding election fraud, legal enforcement of hearings related to neglect or
abuse, or other activities that could lead to a criminal prosecution are exposed to threats
and other acts of violence.
Municipal Clerks often administer elections. Some election workers have been targeted
for threats and violence due to the nature of materials they are responsible for. Further,
Clerks are often involved in legal enforcement proceedings in actions related to violations
of codes and ordinances. Occasionally, these proceedings have led to retaliation and
threats by defendants.
Should you have any questions, please contact me.

in contentious interactions when action is taken and municipal clerks and their staffs fall

basis and are, oftentimes, the first contact of citizens with cities; and
