Office of the Town Clerk
Eva Cooper-Hapeman

The Town Clerk's Office is committed to serving both the public and internal Town Departments by maintaining and preserving all official documents and proceedings of the Town government in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The primary goal is to ensure the highest level of integrity, trust and pride while being responsive to the needs of all stakeholders. As the official repository of the Town of Lake Placid records, the Town Clerk aims to provide excellent customer service to the residents of the town while ensuring transparency. To this end, we work to facilitate timely access to public records upon public records request in accordance with Chapter 119 of the Florida Public Records Law.

 

Some of the Town Clerks duties include preparation and publication of all Town meeting agendas and minutes, administration of oaths as required by Town and State Law, and preparation, execution, and distribution of Proclamations, Resolutions, and Ordinances. The Town Clerk also administers all municipal elections, serves as Public Records Custodian for the Town, oversee the updating and publishing of the Code of Ordinances, provide legal advertisements, keep official files of ordinances, resolutions, agreements, and deeds, oversee town-wide retention of official records, maintain current appointments to town boards and committees, and provide staff support to the Mayor and Council Members.
