Historical Note
The City Clerk maintains the City's legislative records, official
filings, and the Seattle Municipal Archives; keeps the minutes of City Council
meetings; and provides information services to City agencies and the public.
Seattle's first City Charter allowed for a Clerk of the Common Council to be
elected by the Council. In 1875 the position of City Clerk became elective and
remained so until 1896 when the new Charter designated the Comptroller
ex-officio City Clerk. The Comptroller served as City Clerk through 1992. A
1991 City Charter amendment transferred the Comptroller's function to the
Department of Finance and the City Clerk's Office became a division of the
Legislative Department effective in 1993.
The Mayor is the chief executive officer of the City with
responsibilities for law enforcement, appointing department heads,
administering City departments and programs, and preparing and executing the
City budget. Seattle's original Charter (1869) created the position of Mayor
who served as ex-officio President of the Common Council. The 1875 Charter gave
the Mayor a vote on Council. That was amended in 1886 to provide for a
tie-breaking vote only. The 1890 Charter completely separated the Executive and
Legislative branches. Mayoral terms were set at 4 years by the 1946 City
Charter.
Content Description
The Mayor’s Messages are a subset of the Comptroller Files or Clerk
Files, known as CF Files, which consist of a wide variety of documents filed
with the City Clerk’s Office. In 13 boxes, measuring 5.2 cubic feet, the
Mayor’s Messages date from 1896 to 1989. The Messages are arranged
chronologically by Mayor. Although a large percentage of Mayor’s Messages are
represented in this collection, this collection is not a complete set of the
Mayor’s Messages for these years. Additional Mayor’s Messages are added to the
record group on an ongoing basis.
Consisting primarily of vetoes to Council Bills, the Mayor’s Messages
also include annual messages to City Council, budget messages, executive
orders, proclamations and various other communications. The Annual Messages are
useful summaries of accomplishments for a specific year and also identify key
issues for the following year from the Mayor's perspective. The vetoes are
useful for identifying significant issues through the years. For example,
liquor licenses are a frequent subject of vetoes through 1913, and railways and
related issues can be traced through vetoes through the 1920s. Garbage
collection is another issue that arises several times between 1903 and 1913. Of
note is the quantity of vetoes submitted by Mayor Gill for the years 1910-1917.
While the Mayor’s Messages, in many cases, reflect the tone of the
relationship the mayor had with Council, it should be noted that not all
Council Bills were vetoed because of disagreement with the Council. Some
Council Bills were vetoed for purely technical reasons. The abbreviation "CB"
is used to denote "Council Bill" throughout the collection.
