During my extensive career I have been privileged to lead large teams and million dollar budgets to achieve award winning design and development of brand and broadcast content and technology. My experience in training teams in adopting and executing complex technologies give me an edge in approaching the office of Town Clerk with a fresh host of ideas and empowering my team to provide the community seamless and efficient access to services.
First and most important is a comprehensive cybersecurity checklist of all public records and information In order to protect the Southampton Office from hackers and malware.
I have no idea what the condition the security is but recent events in other nearby communities have revealed that many towns and counties have not been adequately prepared.
I would streamline the permitting process and establish a more uniform pricing schedule. This would benefit the public’s experience with the Town Clerk’s services.
