Since 1850 the City Clerk has prepared the official Minutes of the meetings of elected officials managing the City of San Diego, especially the City Council, including the Board of Trustees, the Board of Alderman and the Board of Delegates. The Minutes are summaries of the meetings, not verbatim accounts, that document the official actions of the Council. Minute Books are also called Record Books.
