This office is the custodian of city records, which include City Council meeting records (i.e., communications, resolutions, ordinances, meeting minutes, contracts, petitions), warranty deeds and insurance policies for city owned property, Electrical, Plumbing, and Contractor Bonds, Board and Commission meeting minutes, and more. The Clerk’s office receives and files Statements of Financial Intere
st from the Mayor, City Attorney, City Clerk and Treasurer, Council Members and Municipal Judges annually. Petitions requesting speed humps are filed with the clerk, who forwards a copy to the council members and the Traffic Services Director. The Clerk’s Office receives and files legislation from the City Attorney for City Council meetings and prepares the agenda and other related documentation. The City Clerk maintains the records for all city boards, commissions, and committees. A copy of the minutes from the meetings of these boards, commissions, and committees are required by ordinance to be filed in the clerk’s office. Personal information forms for new members are provided by the clerk. We collect payments for monthly Mixed Drink taxes, Beer and Liquor taxes, fees collected for animal adoption, traffic and criminal court fines, Community Development payments and other miscellaneous revenue. Mixed Drink taxes are due in our office by the end of the month. A 5% penalty is assessed on late payments up to 35%. Drainage Escrow funds which pay for sidewalks, curbs and gutters, are collected and held until development is completed in the affected area. Our office prints annual Business License/Privilege Renewal Invoices which are mailed December 31 of every year. Business owners have until March 31 to renew their license without penalty. A second notice is mailed if necessary during the end of February. Licenses postmarked or received after March 31 are considered delinquent and assessed a 25% penalty. Licenses renewed after July 1 are assessed a 50% penalty. Our Revenue Enforcement Officer provides onsite visits to review the nature of a business operating and to review if proper licensing is in place. If an onsite audit is requested to verify inventory amounts, employees, or other variable information then the Enforcement Officer will make a visit. Other City Departments such as the Code Enforcement Department, Fire Department, or even the Commerce Department assist in verifying businesses are licensed through routine inspections, bids, and contracts for the City. Licenses are to be posted in an area easily viewed by the public. Every person conducting business in the city (of any kind) is required to have a license. Non-profit and government agencies included. As you can see, North Little Rock City Departments work together to provide the best service available to our community. Our office works close with the Mayor’s Staff, City Attorney, Finance Department, Police and Fire Department, Animal Control, and more.
