        MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
        May 2-8, 2021, Professional Municipal Clerks Week in
        the State of New York

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  custom  of this Legislative Body to recognize
official  weeks  that  are  set  aside   to   recognize   the   valuable
contributions  of  public  servants whose work enhances the lives of the
citizens of New York State; and

  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing  traditions,  this  Legislative  Body  is  justly proud to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo  to  proclaim  May  2-8,  2021,  as
Professional  Municipal  Clerks  Week  in  the  State  of  New  York, in
conjunction with the observance of National Municipal Clerks Week; and

  WHEREAS,  The  Office  of  the  Professional  Municipal   Clerk,   a
time-honored  and  vital part of local government, exists throughout the
world and is the oldest position among public servants; it provides  the
professional  link  between the citizens, the local governing bodies and
agencies of government at other levels; and

  WHEREAS, Professional Municipal  Clerks  have  pledged  to  be  ever
mindful of their neutrality and impartiality, rendering equal service to
all; and

  WHEREAS,  The Professional Municipal Clerk serves as the information
center on functions of local government and community; and

  WHEREAS, Initiated in 1969 by  IIMC  and  endorsed  by  all  of  its
members  throughout  the  United  States, Canada and 15 other countries,
Professional  Municipal  Clerks  Week  is  a  time  of  celebration  and
reflection on the importance of the Clerk's office; and

  WHEREAS, In 1984, President Ronald Reagan signed a proclamation that
officially declared Municipal Clerks Week the first full week of May; in
1994   and  1996,  President  Bill  Clinton  also  signed  proclamations
confirming Municipal Clerks Week; and

  WHEREAS, This year, the 52nd Annual  Professional  Municipal  Clerks
Week  will  feature a week-long series of activities aimed at increasing
the public's awareness of Municipal Clerks and  the  essential  services
they provide for local government and the community-at-large; and

  WHEREAS, Professional Municipal Clerks continually strive to improve
the  administration  of  the  affairs  of the Office of the Professional
Municipal Clerk through participation in education  programs,  seminars,
workshops and the annual meetings of their state, provincial, county and
international professional organizations; and

  WHEREAS,   It   is   most   appropriate   that   we   recognize  the
accomplishments of the Office of the Professional Municipal  Clerk,  and
further extend appreciation to all Professional Municipal Clerks for the

vital  services  they  perform  and  their  exemplary  dedication to the
communities they represent; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize  Governor  Andrew  M.  Cuomo  to  proclaim  May  2-8,  2021,
Professional  Municipal  Clerks Week in the State of New York; and be it
further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted  to  The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of
New York.
