We would like to welcome you to the City Clerk's web page. The City Clerk and staff are committed to providing quality public service and connecting the public with the legislative process. We strive to ensure that the City's legislative processes are open and public by providing a link between citizens and government with processes aimed toward transparency. Through efficient use of City resources we are able to ensure the preservation of San Luis Obispo’s legislative history.

Our team is here to assist with public records requests, claims, processing advisory board applications for appointment, and elections administration. The clerk's office is responsible for updating and maintaining city ordinances and codes; providing access to legislative meeting information, and is the official filing officer for statements of economic interest, campaign and other financial disclosure related filings.

The Clerk's Office is open Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If you have any suggestions on how we can better assist you; or if you have questions about our web page or services please do not hesitate to contact us, we would be happy to hear from you.
