I have a private office in the County Administration suite (I am also the Administrative Assistant) which gives me the privacy to do my minutes. Next door is the Board meeting room and next to that are two conference rooms which can be used for meetings with me and/or Board members.

Good luck!

Henrico County does not have a separate Clerk's Office. It is functionally part of the County Manager's Office. The Clerk has a private window office, the Deputy Clerk has a private windowless office and the two Executive Assistants to the Board who handle calendars, correspondence, etc. share a private window office that adjoins the office that is collectively shared by the members of the Board of Supervisors and is directly across the hall from the Board's private conference room. Work sessions are also held across the hall in the Manager's Conference Room and regular meetings of the Board are held in the Board Room in a separate wing and level of the building.

Wow - I don't know how you could do your job without your own office. The City Clerk in Falls Church has an office within the City Manager's suite. The Deputy Clerk had a semi-private space until she stepped up to help at the CM front desk during the budget crunch, but it makes doing her job extremely difficult. You can't write without quiet. Hope you get your space!

The City Council used to have a room for meetings but now all of the Council Members have full time jobs and when they have meetings, they use the conference room next to the CM suite.

For the Town of Rocky Mount, I (as Town Clerk) have my own office with the availability to close the door, when needed. Our Deputy Clerk finally has her own office also. We also have a conference room that is located away from the main offices and a step-down room that can be used by council members whenever they need a quiet place to go to review things pertaining to the Town. Years ago, my area was open to people coming/going through it all the time. I don't know how I did it then and shutter to think I would have to do it like that now. As Town Clerks and Deputy Clerks, we need an office to be able to think clearly and process our work in a timely manner, and having your own space definitely helps out!

I have an office to my self and the Mayor although he works full-time has an office of his own. All of my Council have full-time jobs, but if they needed space for a meeting they use one of the conference rooms or the Mayor's office.

A quiet space is needed to transcribe your minutes and I hope you get yours!
