The Town Clerk's office is a multi-faceted office which is charged with being the chief records keeper for the town. The Town Clerk's office maintains the minutes for all Town Board meetings, the zoning board, the two-family review board, the planning board, and all other boards governing the town. This office has records dating back to 1827 of town laws, resolutions, ordinances and other town business in original form and on micro-film. There are four basic functions that this office performs: Records Management, Registrar of Vital Statistics, Marriage Officer, and Licensing Officer.
