Clerk Information
Welcome to the Borough of Woodcliff Lake.
The Municipal Clerk holds one of the most interesting and exacting positions in municipal government. In New Jersey the position is a statutory one; Municipal Clerks may attain tenure in office and must achieve certification through education and testing.
So diverse is the role of the Municipal Clerk, encompassing a myriad of state statutes and serving all levels of government, that legislation was enacted in 1991 specifically designed to define the “Core” duties of this statutory office. These “Core” duties are as follows:
- Custodian of the municipal seal
- Maintain custody of all minutes, books, deeds, bonds, contracts and archival records of the municipal corporation
- Attest to the signatures of municipal officers and officials
- Maintain receipt of service of legal documents
