Dear Supervisor Smith and Members ofthe Town Board;
Enclosed herewith please find the Annual Reports of the Town Justices. We would like
to take this opportunity to call to the Town Board's attention the fact that the actual
revenue received by the Town in 1997 amounted to an increase over the 1996 revenues of
more than 30%. This was accomplished with no increase in personnel and no increase in
the court's budget. The increased productivity was the direct result of the Board's
foresight in granting the sum sufficient for the court to obtain the state grant to upgrade
the offices computer equipment in preparation to go on-line with Division of Criminal
Justice Services. The increased revenue amounted to almost 15 times the amount of
money which the Town Board allocated for these new systems.
We trust that the Board will continue to look favorably upon our requests for equipment,
supplies and when necessary additional personnel, to permit us to continue to function in
both a financially sound manner as well as to fulfill any of the requirements of our
responsibilities to the members of the Justice System and the people that appear before
us.
We look forward to meeting with the Town Board to discuss our needs in the not too
distant future, since Supervisor Smith has indicated to us that such a meeting would be
scheduled sometime during the month of April.
Cc...
