The
duties of the county clerk are numerous and varied, falling into
the general categories of clerical duties of the fiscal court;
the registering of licenses for motor vehicles; recording and
keeping records of various legal instruments; voter registration
and election duties; and tax duties.
In
all counties except counties containing a city of the first
class, the county clerk has the option of serving as the clerk
of the fiscal court. If the county clerk chooses to serve
in this capacity, he is obligated to attend all meetings of the
fiscal court and to keep a complete record of its proceedings,
with an index. Such is the case in Christian County where
the county clerk’s office serves as a repository for various
fiscal court documents such as all fiscal court minutes,
resolutions, ordinances, including county budget ordinances, are
stored in the office of the county clerk.
Under
state law, the county clerk acts as a licensing agent for state
and county government. In this capacity he issues licenses
and collects fees for a number of activities, for example,
marriage licenses, vehicle registration, watercraft
registration, and alcohol beverage licenses for businesses
outside of the city limits.
