February 20, 2010
Town Clerk's Office
Elizabeth Neville, Town Clerk
I attach my 2009 Annual Report of monies received and permits issued for 2009. Your
request asks for initiatives accomplished (e.g. grants awarded, numbers served, etc). This
report reflects only a portion of the number of people served~ The Tom Clerk's Office
serves as the "Doorway to Town Government". The greatest number of calls for general
information are received in this office. If we can't answer their questions and help them,
we refer them to other offices, as necessary. The administrative duties of the Town Clerk
under NYS Town Law are endless, yet do not necessarily result in an issued permit or
license or money collected. To attempt to estimate the number of people served by the
Town Clerk's Office and Records Management Office would be near impossible. We
continue to serve as many people possible in the most efficient and timely manner.
The Town Clerk also serves as Custodian of all town records and Records Management
Officer; Clerk of the Town Board; Filing Officer of the Town; License Issuing Officer;
Fiscal Affairs responsibilities of assisting with audit and processing of claims and
vouchers, town budget, records of claims for damages filed against the town, etc.;
Freedom of Information Officer for many requests received for which the Town Clerk
has the responsibility of responding to in a timely manner; Registrar of Vital Statistics
receiving and filing birth and death certificates and issuing certified copies. Issuance of
Marriage Licenses, sometimes acting as Marriage Officer and performing ceremonies.
My records management division is very actively receiving all town departments
permanent records and scanning and templating them into Laser Fiche on a daily basis.
I was recently told by a representative of Laser Fiche that the Town of Southold has the
largest repository of town records available that they know of. I have, myself, been
applying for and receiving grants for records management since the inception of the NYS
LGRMIF program in 1989. I have received in excess of $200,000. over the years. In
2009 1 received an active records technology grant in the amount of $88,053. for
Municity, a building, planning, zoning land management software program. This grant
was reduced to $80,141. by the Governor. I began initiating this project as soon as I
received notification of the award on October 20, 2009. I have been working with the
vendor General Code Publishers Corp, the IT department and the involved town
departments in the implementation of this grant. It is expected that the project will be
implemented and operational sometime during March or April 2010. I filed a grant
application for the LGRMIF 20t0~2011 grant cycle in the amount of $34,600. for a GIS
Needs Assessment. It is anticipated that this grant will be awarded in the summer of
2010. The professional needs assessment will be performed by an outside GIS consultant
and then used to file in the subsequent grant cycle for an enterprise wide GIS system.
This system would be of great value to many town departments such land management
departments, highway, DPW, engineering, fiscal reporting. MS-4 storm water reporting,
and GASB 34 are an example of requirements that would be greatly facilitated by GIS.

Re:
State of the Town Report
Recently I attendeda meeting at Peconic Landing with Mayor Nyce that was
labeled "State of the Town" address. While it was not my original intention, I
believe such an address and report will provide meaningful information for the
public and staff to assess what we have accomplished as well as developing
goals for the future.
I am requesting that Department Heads develop a one-page summary of
initiatives accomplished in 2009 including goals for 2010 (e;g. grants awarded,
numbers served, preserved acreage, etc.). I would like your reports to provide
an honest snapshot of your department that wil~ a!so acknowledge projects that
were advanced and not brought to fruition (e.g. TDR legislation).
Please forward reports to Phillip Beltz no later than February 15th. If you have
any questions, please contact us. Thank you for your cooperation and I look
forward to a productive year ahead.
