Senate Resolution No. 2484

BY: Senator RITCHIE

        COMMEMORATING  the  Centennial  Anniversary of the
        New York State Association of County Clerks

  WHEREAS, Associations which serve the interests  of  the  people  of
this Empire State merit the commendation of this Legislative Body; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commemorate the Centennial Anniversary of the New York State Association
of County Clerks; and

  WHEREAS, The New York State Association of County Clerks was founded
on February 25, 1921, in Rochester, New York; and

  WHEREAS,  This all-volunteer organization was formed for the purpose
of  promoting  and  improving  the  service  of  county  clerks  offices
throughout   the   state,  standardizing  fees,  monitoring  legislation
affecting county clerks offices, and encouraging  fellowship  among  the
members; and

  WHEREAS,  Following the initial Association of County Clerks meeting
in 1921, a summer meeting was held in Lake Pleasant, New York, in  1923,
thus  beginning  a tradition of annual meetings, often attended by local
officials, that continued even during World War II; and

  WHEREAS,  The  operation  of  county  clerks  offices  has   changed
dramatically  over  time  and  today's  clerks  have  the  challenge  of
assimilating   ever-changing   technology   while   maintaining    their
responsibility  as the keeper of records for land transactions and court
proceedings, as well as the elected official  responsible  for  managing
the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) on behalf of New York State; and

  WHEREAS,  Staying  true  to its original mission, the New York State
Association of County Clerks strives to  provide  leadership  to  county
clerks  offices  throughout  the  state  through  its  advocacy, and the
sharing of collective knowledge and best practices, allowing New  York's
county clerks to speak with one voice; and

  WHEREAS,  The  success  of  the New York State Association of County
Clerks is in direct correlation to the efforts of its President and  its
members,  whose involvement is, and always has been, characterized by an
impressive commitment, an unbridled enthusiasm,  and  an  uncompromising
standard of excellence in all endeavors on behalf of the institution and
the community it serves; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense  of  this  Legislative  Body that those
organizations  which  enhance  the  well-being  and  vitality  of  their
community  and  have shown a long and sustained commitment to excellence
certainly have earned the recognition and applause of all  the  citizens
of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the Centennial Anniversary of the New York State Association
of County Clerks; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the Honorable Michael C. Bartolotti, Putnam County  Clerk
and President, New York State Association of County Clerks.
