Town Clerk
Welcome to the Brookhaven Town Clerk's Office--- a people-oriented and busy department, serving the needs of our taxpayers.
Now available for you on the Town Website are the many activities and licenses available through the Town Clerk's offices. Through this online service, we have provided our residents with information on obtaining New York State licenses, permits, as well as important records and an array of Town licenses and permits.
TOWN CLERK FUNCTIONS
The Town Clerk’s Office keeps an accurate record of the proceedings of the Brookhaven Town Board meetings. We are also responsible for keeping an accurate record of all Town ordinances and resolutions; attests, publishes, and preserves an accurate record of all Town ordinances and resolutions; is the custodian of the Town Seal; maintains files of Town contracts, agreements, and licenses; and administers oaths, affirmations and acknowledgments.
The Town Clerk's Office seeks to provide the best possible service to our customers. We strive to provide information and hearing notices to Town staff, other public agencies, and the public; legislative support to the Supervisor and Town Council; election coordinator for Primary and General Elections; source for voter registration forms and absentee ballot applications and offers records management services to Town staff accurately, promptly, efficiently, and in a friendly and helpful manner. We seek to make every contact with our customers a positive and rewarding one and to be sensitive and responsive to their needs.
CUSTODIAN OF RECORDS
As Custodian of all Town Records, the Town Clerk is responsible for active files, storage and disposition of inactive records and the careful maintenance of archival material.
Local Government Records Law, Article 57-A, states that a local “government body shall promote and support a program for the orderly and efficient management of records.” Such programs provide several advantages for local government. They save government resources and taxpayers’ money. They ensure systematic arrangement of files leading to quick access and retrieval, thus minimizing costly staff time. The programs lead to better use of space, identification of records having administrative, legal and fiscal importance, and preservation and systematic management of records with permanent value.
GRANTS
As the proportions of the Town of Brookhaven have expanded throughout the years, the population has as well. As more and more people settled into the Town of Brookhaven, the births, deaths and marriages augmented into large volumes of vital registries. These records of enduring value (archival records) were worthy of permanent retention and special management because of the importance of the information they contained for historical purposes. These specific vital records were classified, as having “intrinsic value” for these documents possessed beyond the information they contained. Therefore, the Town of Brookhaven began its Vital Statistic Registries Project with the assistance of a 1997-1998 Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund (“LGRMIF”) Grant. This grant set up Phase I of the Vital Statistic Registries Project. The Town was able to preserve these historical and valuable registries by microfilming birth, death and marriage certificates from the first recorded document in 1847 through 1953.
As long as the population was multiplying, the vital statistics swelled into great dimensions. The sizes of the registry books (birth, death and marriages) were converted to hold 1,500 records per book, doubling the previous 750 per volume count. This ascent was so overwhelming, and the Town of Brookhaven was in dire need of storage space, that ten years later (commencing in 1964) the Town of Brookhaven called upon the Villages within its Township to handle the birth and death certificates inside their respective jurisdictions. Before this was implemented, the Town of Brookhaven housed the records for four (4) hospitals -cutting the volume of vital documents coming into the Township. However, the Town remained the sole issuer of Marriage Licenses and remained inundated from its two (2) remaining hospitals, Brookhaven Memorial Hospital and the State University at Stony Brook Medical Center
