FROM: Susan Randall
DATE: July 18, 2014
Due to Debbie Brown's recent retirement notice, I am requesting to be appointed to the
position of Water and Sewer Billing Clerk.
From my years of working in the tax office/escrow account clerk and with my previous banking
background, I feel 1 have the ability to handle this position. I have worked with the water and
sewer program for many years and am very familiar with the billing programs, rates and dealing
with the water and sewer customers on a daily basis.
I have assisted Debbie Brown for many years handling the collection side of the water and
sewer bills. Debbie Brown is extremely knowledgeable and more than that a very caring person
who has always put the customer first and handled all of their special needs (she will be greatly
missed). I feel I have learned a tremendous amount from her over the years.
I currently have a civil service title of Account Clerk Typist which would qualify as the proper
title for this job.
For these reasons, I feel that I am well qualified to handle the Water/Sewer Billing Clerk
position and am respectfully requesting your appointment for this position.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

MEMO TO: SUPERVISOR &TOWN BOARD MEMBERS
FROM: DEBBIE BROWN, WATER/SEWER BILLING DEPT.
DATE. JULY17,2014
SUBJECT: WATER/SEWER BILLING CLERK POSITION
I WOULD LIKE THE TOWN OF WAPPINGER TOWN BOARD TO CONSIDER SUSAN RANDALL,
WHO CURRENTLY WORKS IN THE TAX OFFICE,TO TAKE OVER MY POSITION AS BILLING CLERK
WHEN I RETIRE 8129/14.
SINCE WATER/SEWER BILLING HAS A LOT OF DETAILED STEPS AND BILLS FOUR MILLION A YEAR IN
REVENUE FOR THE TOWN OF WAPPINGER, IT IS ESSENTIAL THATTHE TRANSITION OF HIRING AND
TRAINING OF A NEW BILLING CLERK GOES AS SMOOTHLY AS POSSIBLE FOR THE TOWN'S BENEFIT,
SINCE SUSAN IS ALREADY EMPLOYED IN THE TAX OFFICE AND HANDLES WATER/SEWER PAYMENTS,
SHE IS FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF MY BILLING SCREENS,THE WATER/SEWER DISTRICTS,THE BILLING
CYCLES AND THE RATES. SHE ALSO KNOWS HOW TO DEAL WITH THE LAWYERS FOR CLOSINGS AND
TITLE AGENCY REQUESTS THAT 15 PART OF THE JOB. SHE IS ALSO USED TO DEALING WITH THE
PUBLIC WITH ANY PROBLEMS OR BILLING ISSUES THAT MAYARISE. HER PREVIOUS BACKGROUND
IN BANKING, WORKING IN THE TAX OFFICE, HANDLING ESCROWS FOR THE TOWN AND BEING FAMILIAR
ON A DAILY BASIS WITH WATER/SEWER, MAKES HERAN EXCELLENT CANDIDATE FOR THIS POSITION.
I HOPE THAT THE TOWN BOARD WILL CONSIDER HER FOR THIS POSITON. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO
LEAVE MY POSITION IN CAPABLE HANDS SO THAT THE TOWN AND THE TOWN ACCOUNTING OFFICE
IS NOT AFFECTED BY MY DEPARTURE.
I WO ULD LIKE TO TAKE TH IS TIME TO TELL THE TOWN BOARD THAT I HAVE ENJOYED WORKING
WITH FREDRICK AW INO IN THE ACCOUNTING OFFICE (HE IS A TERRIFIC BOSS)AS WELL AS BARBARA
GUTZLER THE TOWN SUPERVISOR.

Re: Susan Randall Recommendation
Having worked with Susan for a couple of years. I would like to say i am thrilled that she is
being considered for the position of Water and Sewer Billing Clerk in the Accounting
department. Susan has demonstrated a willingness to be flexible with on job demands and always
willing to take on new tasks. Susan handles escrow accounts, general receipts recording, tax
collections, and sewer and water collections. She is familiar with the Enterprise and the Standard
KV S systems, the accounting software. Susan is an asset for the Town and is qualified to take on
water and sewer billing. I therefore recommend Susan Randall for the position of Sewer and
water billing clerk.
