Bob Freeman offered OPINION not law. Nice guy but gave an opinion.
Tippy might I remind you that the board needs to act as a body--not the clerk. YOUR TOWN BOARD MEETING CANNOT EVEN BEGIN WITHOUT THE CLERK! She calls the role and YES YOU NEED THE CLERK OR THE DEPUTY TO DO IT. You see the clerk CAN act unilaterraly where the board can't. It is the clerk who certifies all of the oaths of office and the minutes.
The info for handicap tags IS covered under HIPAA. That is medical information that has been transferred from one office to another. I spoke with DMV and the police.
Sorry Gadfly--info not exactly correct. Bumble this is why you vote for clerk.
The police? I would love to find a police officer experience with HIPAA. Why? ...because it's not their job.
She wasn't calling the police in the name of HIPAA...she was calling them to make me leave Town Hall after refusing to give me my written FOIL refusal.
geez i hope the clerk doesn't get sick or cant make a town meeting or to work no business developement no zoning changes no budget no weddings no Proclamations people will have to walk survivers cannot collect life insurance
life as we know it will end
only in rotterdam would people believe this BS
and that is why we need a deputy clerk or a deputy registrar of vitals so we are not held hostage by one person
Talking to each other is better than talking about each other
Maybe you should just brush up on what a clerk does. I also spoke to the Town Clerk in Guilderland and Colonie today. You guys seem to be unaware of what a clerk does. Sorry.
Tippy the question you raise had nothing to do with a Deputy. Sure get one in place--it doesn't change the litany of things of which the Deputy is responsible. You and Bumble are the ones who are trying to denigrate the job. In fact it is an elected position that has some gravitas to it. Only in Rotterdam would people act in such a disparaging manner.

That was for this moron, not you Gadfly. The police wouldn't know HIPPA laws...it's not their job. You sure make a lot of phone calls for someone accusing others of not having jobs. And I think you are misreading Tippy's posts. He IS saying the clerk's job is important. And one major function of the clerk's job is to appoint a DEPUTY so that person could take over in the event of an emergency.
Because like you said, the job IS important. So why hasn't your darling Eunice done that for over a year? Is she DELIBERATELY trying to harm the taxpayers in this town, Boomer?

Medical information means nothing if the individual(s) to which it refers is unidentified...and I don't think the medical particulars are specified on the original application anyway...only the doctor's name which, again, does not indentify the applicant. BTW, the Town Clerk has nothing to do with the approval or denial of FOIL requests...and frankly, I think just about anyone is capable of calling the roll at Board meetings and certifying their minutes.

What education level does a town clerk need? High School? 2 year degree? 4 year degree? A masters degree? Does it even matter? Of course not! There are no qualifications to speak of!
Ya just need to smile (optional), file, fill out forms and show up! Oh, and call FIVE names at a town board meeting! It is just a glorified 'clerks' job, drummed up by government bureaucracy. It doesn't even need to be a FULL TIME position. There are many many 'clerks' in this state that do not work everyday. It's not needed. And I would suggest rotterdam to do the same.
Hell, whenever I've gone to the TC's office, you could hear a pin drop. And to add insult to injury, you have to stand there and wait for someone, ANYONE....to come to the window. And that's no bulls!t either!!
