What Does the City Clerk Do?
The City Clerk is the keeper of the public record. In 2026, that means technology matters. We manage everything from public records and City Council agendas to election information and filings. Our role is to ensure that every resident has clear, accessible, and transparent access to the decisions that shape our community.

Our Five Pillars of Modern Governance
Joe Alvanez brings an IT problem solving mindset to the City Clerk’s office, ensuring Fontana’s records are modern, fair, and accessible to every resident. Each of these pillars is lacking under our current administration.Â
Records on Time
Records shouldn't take months. I'll fight for a clear, fast, trackable public record turnaround, in time to matter.Â
Accountability
Every City-Hall decision needs a clear public record of motion, vote, approval, supporting documents and final action.
Inclusive Access
Clear information in the languages residents use, with accessible webpages and simple ways to participate.
Better Use of Technology
I'll work to improve indexing so residents can search by developer, company, address, contract or project.
Fair Elections
Mobile-friendly election pages where voters can easily find candidates, campaign funders, deadlines, filings, and election information.
