Supervisor Smith and Members of the Town Board

Dear Supervisor Smith and Members of the Town Board:
Pursuant to our understanding we have interviewed the three remaining
people for the position of Deputy Court Clerk.
Francese Puels Riccardi is a very pleasant person with a paralegal
background, but no actual court office experience or familiarity with court
office procedures.
Paul I. Weinberger, Attorney, has some experience with legal matters
and research, and is computor literate, but has no knowledge of clerical court
procedures. Mr. Weinberger was interested in an administrative position here
hoping it would afford him the opportunity to gain experience to advance himself
~, but did not see this as a long term position or commitment.
The only individual interviewed who possessed any experience
whatsoever as Court Clerk was Linda Walters. While the other two candidates
were eager to learn, they both admitted no familiarity to the essential duties
of the position. Based upon this courts experience, it would take between 1 to
2 years before either candidate could be in a position to function individually.
Ms. Walters however, is already a Chief Court Clerk within the Justice
Court System working independently, and could assume the position of Deputy Court
Clerk immediately, without additional training. She also brings to the position
over 5 years of actual court office training and experience which would make her
the ideal candidate for the position.
We therefore, respectfully urge the Town Board to appoint her as
Deputy Court Clerk at the annual salary of $19,000.00, the salary which the
Board previously approved for an experienced individual.
We would appreciate this appointment being made as soon as possible.
As you also requested, we have prepared letters for the applicants
who were not qualified, thanking them for their interest in the position.
