Deputy City Clerk Gail Bartelt

Gail Bartelt has worked in the City Clerk’s Office since 1987; in 1995 she was appointed as the Deputy City Clerk for the City of Countryside.

Working in the City Clerk’s Office requires the safe record keeping of all official documents. The City Clerk’s Office prepares and maintains all Council and Committee minutes. Official Notices are disseminated through the Clerk’s Office. Freedom of Information requests are processed through this office. The Clerk’s Office recently implemented a new procedure for the renewal of business licenses, eliminating the duplication of effort for our business owners. The Office is also currently in the process of electronically storing permanent records for emergency retrieval.

Payments for water bills, building permits, excavation bonds, legal publication costs, and real estate transfers are collected at this location. In addition, residents wishing to participate in the 50/50 tree removal, library or pool program can have their documentation processed.

With 22 years of municipal experience, Gail continues to attend professional conferences and seminars, holding the designation of Certified Municipal Clerk and Registered Clerk.
