The Town Clerk is a chartered position, under the direction of the Town Manager, which reports to the Town Council. Our Town Clerk is Laura Aldrich, a Master Municipal Clerk (MMC) who was appointed by the Council in August 2005.
The Town Clerk is the custodian of the Town seal and of the official records of the Town. In addition to serving as Clerk to the Town Council, some of the other duties of the Town Clerk include attending and producing minutes from all Council meetings and board or committee meetings, coordinating Town elections, ensuring our ordinances are codified and up to date, providing Notary Services, managing and maintaining this website, managing the Town's cemetery and working closely with other departments. Laura is committed to serving our residents and is here to assist you with civic information as well as to provide direction and guidance to newcomers.
The official Town Council minutes are found on the Minutes page. For historical Council minutes or those from the Planning, Zoning & Variance Board, the Finance Committee, Code Enforcement Board or Pension Boards, please contact the Town Clerk.
The Code of Ordinances is compiled and maintained by Municipal Code Corporation. Ordinances in process or recently passed are located under the Government tab.

This brief video illuminates what municipal clerks are and what they do across the county, state, nation and the world.
