The Roane County Clerk has a close relationship with the county legislative
body as the county clerk serves as the clerk to this body, performing duties such as calling the roll, recording votes, and
taking minutes.
The county legislative body as a whole, or a committee selected by the county legislative body,
serves as the county beer board, and the county clerk often assists the beer board in taking applicaitons for permits to sell
beer, recording the actions of the beer board and issuing permits.
Similarly, the county clerk handles applications
for notaries public and presents the applications to the county legislative body for approval.
And of course,
the county clerk's budget is approved by the county legislative body. Further, the county legislative body determines
whether or not the county clerk's office operates under the "fee" system, whereby the county clerk pays the
salaries of the clerk and deputies and office expenses out of the fee account, or whether all fees are paid over to the general
fund monthly, with all salaries and expenses being budgeted.
