Lasker, Esq. www.ancelglink.com Forms of Municipal Governments Aldermanic – City Trustee – Village Commission Managerial Strong Mayor Special Charter History of cities, villages & towns: Special Charters Prior to 1870, a community that desired to incorporate as a municipality had to apply to the General Assembly for a “special charter” to establish its powers, boundaries and form of organization. Since 1870, special charters have been prohibited by the Illinois Constitution. As such, only about 2% of the current Illinois municipalities are incorporated by special charter. History of cities, villages & towns: Legislative amendments The “Cities and Villages Act of 1872” established a statutory scheme for the initial organization and incorporation of municipalities. Those laws were modified in 1941 by the “Revised Cities and Villages Act.” The “Illinois Municipal Code,” the current body of law governing cities, villages and towns, was enacted in 1961 and is currently codified in Act 5, Chapter 65, of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (65 ILCS 5/1-1-1, et seq.). Who’s Who Among Illinois Municipalities? Only about 2% of municipalities continue to operate under pre-1870 special charters. They are “incorporated towns” governed by the Municipal Code, and are different than “townships” governed by the Township

  • Dear Anthony Mejia and City Clerks Association of California, I Am
    CITY OF SAN MATEO 330 W. 20th Avenue OFFICE OF THE MAYOR San Mateo, CA 94403 www.cityofsanmateo.org March 11, 2021 (650) 522-7000 Dear Anthony Mejia and City Clerks Association of California, I am pleased to nominate one of the most dedicated civil servants I know, Patrice Olds, for Municipal Clerk of the Year. It’s hard to summarize the amount of passion, creativity and integrity she’s brought to this profession during one of the most challenging years in our history. So often Patrice puts the needs and interests of others before herself, and I hope this year we can finally recognize her contributions with this distinction. In 2020, Patrice not only navigated the ever-changing challenges the pandemic created for civic engagement within our city, she helped ensure other clerks prevailed as well. She was an innovative advocate for democracy through a contentious and closely-watched election, and leveraged technology to promote engagement. She also served as President of the City Clerks Association of California in 2020 helping to provide guidance to many of her peers across the state. This was all on top of her normal day-to-day work that is integral to our entire organization. Entering 2020 Patrice was so excited to organize and lead CCAC’s annual conference. She’d made all the arrangements and was in the midst of creating a wonderfully themed signature event to host an in-person conference before COVID-19 forced its cancellation. While she was incredibly disappointed, she wasn’t going to let a global pandemic get in the way of this important event.
