“It isn’t a secret that I will not have a huge estate left when I am gone but I feel it is important to set aside something to do my part. I feel so good about making the decision to set aside what I can to the MCEF Legacy Program to assure that our esteemed profession continues with the educational opportunities provided by MCEF/IIMC. I have been a Clerk for more than half of my life and I can’t think of a better place to give back.” Brenda K. Young, MMC

“Municipal Clerks will undoubtedly leave an indelible mark on communities world-wide. Clerks are valued public stewards, and I’m certain my peers would agree it is a privilege to serve in our profes- sion. Without the educational programs offered through IIMC and supported by MCEF over the years, my professional growth and network would be incomplete. Today, I have the opportunity to show my appreciation through the MCEF legacy program. Helping MCEF and IIMC deliver the same quality educational programs to future generations through a personal legacy gift is the right choice for me and a unique way I can pay it forward. Thank you, MCEF, for the opportunity to make a difference in years to come.” -Monica Martinez Simmons, MMC

“I can’t think of a better way to give back to a profession that has provided me so many wonderful opportunities than through the MCEF Legacy Program. I consider it an honor to be able to make an allowance in my will to help clerk education in the future.” Mary Lynne Stratta, MMC

If Ever There Was A Time To Invest In The Education Of Clerks, It’s Now And You Can Do It By Investing In MCEF PLANNED GIVING - Legacy Program

14 IIMC Celebrating 70 Years April 2016 IIMC News Digest MUNICIPAL CLERKS WEEK MAY 1 - 7, 2016 IIMC’s 47th Annual Municipal Clerks Week, to take place May 1 - May 7, 2016, will feature a week- long series of activities aimed at increasing the public’s awareness of Municipal Clerks and the vital services they provide for local government and the community. Although it is one of the oldest positions in local government, few people realize the vital services Municipal and Deputy Clerks perform for their community. Primarily, they act as the cornerstone of their council. Do you know what your Municipal Clerk does for your Community? Here’s just a few of the many duties your Municipal Clerk may do: • Maintain the official council minutes, ordinance books and all records and documents. • Index all official actions of council. • Issue licenses and permits. • Process contracts and agreements. • Keep community history and vital records. • Receive, distribute and file correspondence from citizens and other governmental agencies. • Administer election, registration and voting. It can take Municipal Clerks months to organize and prepare this element in the democratic process which must be done correctly for the whole system to work! • Act as a key liaison between local government and its citizens. • Handle significant financial responsibilities including preparation of tax rolls, special assessments and budgets. • Provide central services such as personnel, purchasing, etc.

One of local government’s deep-rooted titles is the Municipal Clerk, and duties have expanded over the years. Today, modern technology assists with all of the increasing responsibilities. IIMC provides the tools to be sure all Municipal and Deputy Clerks can properly operate new computer applications, are current regarding the latest records manage- ment techniques and other relevant information, and can return to the classroom to increase their knowledge of these issues, to learn new material and sharpen old skills- all in order to give the best service possible!

IIMC has sponsored Municipal Clerks Week since 1969. In 1984 and 1994, Presi- dents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, respectively, signed a Proclamation offi- cially declaring Municipal Clerks Week the first full week of May and recognizing the essential role Municipal Clerks play in local government. During this week, Municipal Clerks throughout the world will host open houses and tours of the Municipal Clerk’s office, visit local schools and participate in other various events.

You can find promotional materials for Municipal Clerk’s Week under the Membership tab Municipal Clerk’s Week at www.iimc.com.

“IIMC is excited to announce a brand new addition to the IIMC Annual Conference - IIMC Gives Back! With over 10,000 members from 15 different countries, our member- ship has the capability of making a serious impact on the lives of those who reside in the cities we visit each year. In addition to the contribution opportunities available to you through MCEF, IIMC will be giving conference delegates the opportunity to give back to Omaha. For 2016, IIMC has selected Youth Emergency Services (YES) as the 70th IIMC Annual Conference charity of choice. Each night, hundreds of youth in the Omaha metro area are homeless. Many of these youth have been physically, emotionally or sexually abused, making it unsafe for them to return home. Many others are facing health, mental health and substance abuse issues beyond their control. Without proper support and guidance, these vulnerable adolescents cannot succeed independently, and will likely fall into the cycle of homelessness as adults. Youth Emergency Services exists to help these youths turn their lives around. Homeless and at-risk youth often lack positive adult interaction and are hesitant to ask for help because of this. Youth Emergency Services works to become a positive influence in each of these youths’ lives and help guide them toward the road to success and self-sufficiency. For more information on the IIMC Gives Back Program or Youth Emergency Services, click here!”

18 IIMC Celebrating 70 Years April 2016 IIMC News Digest Oregon State Agrees to Safely Manage Hazardous Waste

Oregon State University has agreed to provide comprehensive training for its personnel to properly identify hazardous waste generated at its campus in Corvallis, OR. In the settlement announced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the university will also pay $275,000 in penalties for multiple violations of federal hazardous waste identification rules and agreed to comply with waste management requirements. “Strict accountability for hazardous waste is vital to protecting people and the environment at every step of the way,” said Director Ed Kowalski of EPA’s Pacific Northwest Office of Compliance and Enforcement. “Without knowing what its hazardous wastes were from the very beginning, it was impossible for Oregon State University to ensure its chemicals were handled safely, which could have put students, faculty and first respond- ers at significant risk In 2013, EPA inspectors found nearly 2,000 contain- ers of hazardous wastes, in at least six OSU campus laboratories and other buildings that were not properly identified, managed or safely stored, in violation of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Multiple types of hazardous wastes were found, includ- ing solvents and other flammable liquids, acids and other caustic, toxic and reactive chemicals, and used oil. In addition, OSU did not have a RCRA permit to manage and store the hazardous wastes. Failure to accurately identify hazardous wastes increases the likelihood that it will be improperly managed as non-hazardous waste, or that not all of the hazards will be identified before treatment or disposal. Considerable quantities of hazardous chemicals are found not just at large manufacturing facilities, but also at a variety of facilities, where they pose the very same risks. OSU is a college campus with more than 25,000 students and 4,700 full time employees, and the potential for harm was substantial if a release, fire, or explosion had occurred near a classroom or other building where hazardous wastes were being generated. Several of the locations where mismanaged waste was accumulated were in close proximity to students and faculty. Continued on page 23

Oregon State Agrees to Safely Manage Hazardous Waste…Continued from page 19

OSU’s failure to identify all of the hazards associ- ated with each waste also posed a safety threat to the facilities with which OSU contracts to transport, treat and dispose of the waste. If a spill occurred during transportation, the flammable, reactive or other hazards from the waste might not be known to the transporter or emergency responders, putting them at risk. If misidenti- fied wastes were sent to a treatment and disposal facility then incineration, neutralization, and even mixing with water could have resulted in fires or explosions. In addition, because OSU failed to properly identify its hazardous wastes, waste disposed of as non-hazard- ous may well have been hazardous, and therefore unsuit- able for disposal in a non-hazardous solid waste landfill. Landfill workers who subsequently handled these mate- rials were put at risk of harm in handling wastes that should have been identified as hazardous wastes. If OSU had identified its hazardous wastes at the point of generation as required by RCRA, the wastes could have been safely managed and this potential for harm could have been significantly decreased.
