Public Service

As you know, I work for Maricopa County Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. I am also doing my internship with my employer. My office is in charge of many different things that serve the public.

Here are some of the things that my office is responsible for:

• process liquor license, firework, bingo, off-track betting applications
• special taxing districts (irrigation, water, fire, street light)
• public records requests for Maricopa County information
• Boards and Commissions in Maricopa County
• Franchise (cable tv, phone, etc.)
• Accept process of services for Maricopa County
• minutes and agendas for public meetings

Those are just some of the responsibilities of our office. Our office has a main phone number that the public uses to reach our office. We provide the public with answers to questions regarding all departments within Maricopa County. So our office has to be very knowledgeable about that department does what so that we can better serve the public.

Maricopa County is an extension of the State of Arizona so that means our office is governed by Arizona Statutes. Our office is required to preform certain functions (such as what is listed above) as prescribed by statute.

For example, our office is required to process liquor license applications for individuals or organizations that want to sell or serve alcohol. Some licenses require a public hearing before a license can be issued and our office makes sure the public hearing is scheduled and held within a timely matter.
