The taxes have be turned into the County and for the second year the taxes were successfully collected with no errors. I am happy to have collected the taxes here in Stafford saving the taxpayers many dollars.
We have a new website designer and saving a lot of money by changing companies. Please bear with me as I get the website fully implemented. We are getting there for sure.
By now, you have received your Spring Newsletter, I hope you saved it for any information you may need and look for the next edition to be published this fall for new information.
The Town graciously allowed me to attend the Annual Town Clerk’s Conference in Syracuse this year. It was very informative as well as getting to know many other Town Clerks and sharing information as well as workshop sessions. I did learn a lot and looking forward to next year to learn more.
Your Stafford Town Clerk,
Barbara Radley
