Over the past three and a half years, I have worked diligently to modernize and enhance the services provided by the Town Clerk’s Office to our community. From streamlining internal operations to expanding public access, our focus has remained steadfast: improving how our office serves the residents of Greenwich.
We’ve made significant strides in adopting new technologies to better meet the needs of our community. From digitizing records to implementing more user-friendly systems for document access and filing, we’ve brought greater efficiency, transparency, and convenience to the office. We’ve also prioritized accessibility — ensuring residents can interact with our office easily, whether online or in person.
In just a few years as Town Clerk, my office has accomplished a lot:
• Dog Licenses: Implemented online services for dog licensing and renewals, making the process more convenient for residents.
• CCTC: I have earned designation as a Certified Connecticut Town Clerk.
• Property Alert System: Introduced a Property Alert System, free to residents, to monitor and inform residents of any amendments to their property records.
• RTM Meridia Voting System: The integration of state-of-the-art voting technology to our Representative Town Meeting, enabling both remote and in-person participation, marks a significant advancement.
Recent developments have introduced mobile device app-based solutions, enhancing accessibility and
security for RTM members.
• Elections: We have closely monitored and actively engaged with state officials to navigate the evolving landscape of election laws, ensuring timely and compliant execution of all electoral processes.
Serving as your Town Clerk has been a privilege, and I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together. But there is more to do. If re-elected, I will continue building on this foundation, pursuing smart innovations and maintaining the high standard of service Greenwich deserves. I’m grateful for the trust you’ve placed in me, and I respectfully ask for your continued support as we move forward.
Sincerely,
Jackie Budkins, CCTC
Greenwich Town Clerk
