For service on counties, cities, towns, villages, or other local public bodies, to whom should service be delivered?

• A. Mayor, city manager, or clerk via registered/certified mail, return receipt requested or by designated delivery service
• B. The governor
• C. The attorney general
• D. The court clerk

Answer: (A)

Service on counties and other local public bodies must be directed to the official who handles notices for the local government—the mayor or city manager, or the clerk of the governing body. The allowed delivery methods include registered or certified mail with return receipt requested, or a designated delivery service. This ensures that the local entity receives official notice and that there is verifiable proof of service. The governor or attorney general are state-level officials and not the appropriate recipients for service on local governments, and serving only the court clerk does not guarantee notice to the local body through its designated official.
