SENIOR CENTER NEWSLETTER

TOWN CLERK
A new property records management system with a company called IQS was installed this week and program training has begun.      

Multiple town departments now have special access and permission to print documents without charge from their desktop computers.

The Animal Control Officer has immediate access to the dog licensing portal allowing him to search for the contact information for all licensed dog owners by tag number, name, and address.  Having this immediate information will permit him to serve the community efficiently when called to duty.  

We are working closely with the finance department to be sure all accounts line up properly as we prepare to begin accepting electronic land recordings and credit card payments online as well as at the counter.
