The Town Clerk's office is the information center of local government. Many duties are mandated by law, but many more go well beyond those mandates as the Town Clerk and her staff serve as a major source of information to all. As recording secretary for the Town Board, she authors the minute books, the only official record of the activities of the Town Government. The Town Clerk issues state licenses and permits, including marriage, dog, hunting and fishing, bingo, games of chance, peddlers, garbage haulers, and handicapped parking. The office is the custodian of all Town records and responsible for the records management program of the Town. This includes coordinating requests for public information (FOIL) within all Town Departments. The Town Clerk is the coordinator for primary and general elections and oversees special Town elections and permissive/mandatory referendums. Voter registration forms and absentee ballot applications are always available. As Registrars of Vital Statistics, the office maintains all birth and death records within the community, issues birth and death certificates and certified copies of those records to those records to those individuals designated by law. Notary services are available on a full-time basis. The office can be reached during regular business hours and appointments can be made outside of regular posted hours for certain licensing services.
