WPCNR CITY HALL CIRCUIT. September 29, 2006: An indispensable and loyal public servant in the ideal sense has announced her retirement. Janice Minieri is leaving the post of City Clerk after thirty-five years of service to the city. Ms. Minieri who is responsible for city records, such as marriage licenses, birth certificates, and the City Charter, and dispenses the mysterious Rossetta Stone of city government: the monthly Common Council Agenda and booby-trapped "backup material" while recording faithfully the Common Council proceedings through the years of  Urban Renewal, the building of the Galleria, the Westchester, right through to the Renaissance of today.

 She has sworn in the legends of City Hall, Alfred Del Vecchio, Mary Ann Keenan, Michael Keating, Mike Coffey, Robert Ruger, Jo Falcone, Rita Malmud, Joseph Delfino, Robert Greer. Ms. Minieri has run an office that has always been polite and efficient in the way it treats the public, and has always treated the distinguished members of the press with the dignity and respect they deserve.
