Welcome to the Town Clerk’s Office
Every town in New York State is required by law to have a Town Clerk. The Town Clerk’s Office is the “hub” of town business and is often the public’s first stop in Town Hall. The Town Clerk is the town’s official recordkeeper, responsible for preserving current and historical information of importance to the community, including record of all town operations. The Mount Pleasant Town Clerk is elected to a two-year term.
Duties of the Town Clerk’s Office include preparing minutes for public Town Board meetings, administering Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests, coordinating elections locally, and acting as the local licensing agent for the Town of Mount Pleasant and New York State. As the Registrar of Vital Statistics, the Town Clerk maintains and issues records of births and deaths occurring at Westchester Medical Center (formerly Grasslands Hospital) or within the town.
