Lilly has shown tremendous dedication to receive this certification. It has been her goal since she was hired by the City as an assistant city recorder. She has attended over 120 hours of training and brought so much value back to the City of Hermiston. We have seen improvements in our public records program, our records management program and our public meetings compliance. It has been well worth our investment in her development as our City Recorder.

To my knowledge this is the first time that the City of Hermiston has had a City Recorder achieve this designation.
