The City of Delafield is seeking a qualified individual to serve as a municipal minute taker/recording secretary for several Committees, Commissions and/or Councils. This is presently a shared position with a combined total attendance of up to six meetings per month. The current opening would be expected to attend at least two meetings per month, with the potential to attend more based on the availability of the position’s counterpart. The position is primarily an evening position with the expectation of in-person attendance. Total hours for this position, including meeting attendance and minute preparation, will average between 15-20 hours per month for the combined positions. Minutes must be typed, revised, and submitted to the Clerk’s Office for posting.

The qualified applicant must be able to write a complete and accurate record of the meeting, including meeting date, time, and location; who was in attendance; a summary of the discussions for all agenda items; and a record of all official votes taken and motions passed. The experience or knowledge of minute-taking for business meetings in a municipality or other government entity such as a school district, is highly recommended. Knowledge of parliamentary procedure is highly desirable; however, the City of Delafield will train an otherwise qualified applicant.
