CITY CLERK Welcome to the 2002 annual report for the City Clerk's Office, it was a very interesting year. The City Clerk's office moved from our old office on the first floor - Church Street entrance to the basement - High Street entrance. We now share our office with the Tax Collector and have a new space with easy access for the public and more parking available. Because of the renovations and new office space we now have a new vault storage this will help to protect and keep the city records safe. This year the Clerk's office embarked on what will be a long process of records preservation and restoration. Seven of our historic vital records books were restored and preserved; these records are still very much in daily use. The restoration and preservation of our records will take many years to complete, but these records are priceless and can't be replaced. The records have also been put on microfiches; this will protect the city incase of a fire or other mishap and at some time in the future when the law allows the records will become available to the public. The Clerk’s office is still processing requests for business permits and licenses such as liquor license, special amusement, Victualer (food service) and other business related items. We also sell hunting and fishing licenses to both residents and non-residents. The City Clerk's office processes all voter registrations requests, issues all birth, death and marriage records, and we receive all payments on building and code permits, ambulance and cemetery receivables, and most other non-tax related items. The City Clerk's office processed $4,631,357.45 in receipts this past year, for a variety of accounts and city departments. Vital
