Office of the Clerk-Treasurer

The Clerk-Treasurer is elected every four years by city residents at the same time as
the Mayor and Common Council. No other elected municipal duties are as specifically defined by law as the duties of the Clerk-Treasurer. This person is responsible for the overall collection and disbursement of funds, the administration of the accounting system, the signing of checks, the city seal, and serves as the investment coordinator
for the municipal treasury. The Clerk-Treasurer oversees payroll, accounts payable, taxes and grants for the City of Angola. The Clerk-Treasurer also serves as clerk of the Common Council and Board of Public Works and Safety by attending meetings,
preparing agendas, and recording proceedings.

Deb Twitchell has been the City of Angola Clerk-Treasurer since 1996. She has worked for the City since 1991. Before coming to Angola, Deb served as Clerk-Treasurer for the Town of Orland from 1982-1991.
