Clerk

The Borough Clerk acts as the day-to-day administrative officer and chief election official of the Borough. The Clerk is a liaison between the governing body and taxpayers and often is a resident’s initial point of contact in municipal matters. The Clerk serves as the custodian of official records and as recording secretary to the governing body, keeping minutes of official meetings. The Clerk’s Office is also responsible for processing numerous municipal permits and licenses, including all marriage licenses. The Clerk also serves as the chief elections officer for the Borough, ensuring official tallies from Borough voting precincts are properly reported to the County Clerk.
