My understanding is that a certificate of incumbency is a document verifying the names and positions of city officials (councilmembers, mayor, trustees of a public trust, city clerk, etc.) as of the relevant legal date. While not titled as such, those certifications are often executed in connection with bond or other financing. The manager of the public trust and the city manager, both unelected positions, are routinely identified in those certifications.

Subject: [Oama] Certificate of Incumbency and MAPS
Greetings,
My municipality has recently passed a MAPS tax (sales tax). Purportedly the lender or trustee bank has forwarded a Certificate of Incumbency.
Anyone know specifically what this is? Any issue in authorizing an unelected official under the Certificate of Incumbency?
Thank you.
