During the regular session of the Butler city council meeting, Mayor Jim Henry presented recognition to City Clerk Malachi Hoover and Deputy City Clerk Gayle Alexander for their outstanding commitment. May 5 through May 11 is the 55th Annual Professional Municipal Clerks Week. Initiated in 1969 by IIMC and endorsed by all of its members throughout the United States, Canada and 15 other countries, the week is a time of celebration and reflection on the importance of the Clerk’s office. In 1984, Ronald Reagan signed a proclamation that officially declared Municipal Clerks Week to be held the first full week of May in the United States.
