The Middlebury Town Clerk’s Office will be changing hours of
operation for the summer. This is a test program to see how the change effects
service to our residents and addresses issues of lowering energy use. We are
currently open Mon – Fri 8:30am to 4:30pm. We will be closed Fri July 4th
for the
This change does not affect other
Municipal Offices. A benefit we are hoping to achieve is better
service to those individuals who would like our office either open earlier in
the morning or later in the afternoon. We will ultimately be open the same
number of hours during the week so we will be evaluating how we use energy for
copiers, computers, cooling (summer), lighting, etc.
My two assistants currently drive in to work and home 5 days per week.
Using calculations of their mileage, miles per gallon, and a gas price of $4
would save them a combined estimated total of $700 per year by reducing their
travel by one day per week. This is a great benefit to employees as they save
money, wear and tear on their vehicles and get a longer weekend. It is good for
the environment because it reduces traffic on the roads and cuts down carbon
emissions.
If you are a member of the Clergy, a Justice of the Peace, or other
Officiant who performs Marriages and Civil Unions please advise the couple you
are working with that the Middlebury Town Clerk’s Office is not available
to issue their license on a Friday. For couples from out-of-state they may obtain
a license from any Town Clerk who is open on Fridays. Another piece of
information regarding Marriages and Civil Unions is that the Legislature has
just raised the fee for a license from $23 to $45 as of July 1st,
2008.
