Responsibilities of the Ward Clerk

Does anyone have a list of the responsibilities of the ward clerk as outlined in the Handbooks? As I go through the Handbooks I find that the ward clerk is mentioned in several places. Also I thought the ward clerk had the responsibility to keep minutes for Bishopric meeting but I can't find the reference in the handbooks.

If you carefully read Handbook 1, Section 13.4.2, and follow all the links from there to other sections in Handbook 1 and Handbook 2, I think you'll pretty much cover every responsibility.

See Handbook 2, Section 18.2.6: "The bishopric usually meets at least weekly. The ward clerk and ward executive secretary attend; the clerk keeps a record of assignments and decisions."

This is a great place to get started. There is a video for introduction, as well as the Ward Clerks Responsibilities. Hope this helps!!

Here's a list of responsibilities we use in our stake (still in draft form so open to suggestions).

What are the roles and duties of the Assistant Branch Clerks?

I'd start by reading General Handbook 33.2, "General Instructions for Clerks" and 33.4.3.
