McAllen city secretary’s office honored by Texas Municipal Clerks Association
Summary
The McAllen city secretary’s office was one of 42 municipal clerk offices in Texas recognized with an Achievement of Excellence award; the city secretary accepted the honor, citing the office’s work on records management, elections and transparency.
City staff told the McAllen City Commission that the Texas Municipal Clerks Association named McAllen’s city secretary’s office a recipient of the Association’s Achievement of Excellence award — one of 42 municipal clerk’s offices recognized statewide.
The mayor and commission highlighted the award as recognition of the office’s work meeting statutory requirements in categories that include records management, professional development, government transparency, elections and open meetings. The city representative said the award reflects work across nine of 12 judged categories.
City Secretary Alita accepted the recognition on behalf of her team, saying, "This recognition reflects the dedication and professionalism of our team here with me. Each day they uphold the highest standards in records managements, conducting elections, public information records, open meetings, and they support our boards and commissions." She thanked the commission and staff for their support.
The proclamation and the award presentation were part of the meeting’s announcements. The commission did not place additional agenda items around the award; no separate vote on the award is recorded in the transcript.
