The Clerk also issues and collects fees for licenses such as marriage licenses, sporting licenses, (hunting, fishing, and trapping), and dog licenses.
The Clerk records all votes passed at Town Meetings held during his/her term of office. The Clerk administers the oaths of office to all town officers who apply to be sworn, and makes a record thereof and of the oaths of office taken before justices of the peace of which certificates are filed. Immediately after every annual election of town officers, the Clerk transmits to the state secretary a complete list of all town officers elected and qualified, and promptly reports to the secretary any changes in such officers.
