Brookhaven Town Clerk Kevin LaValle was at the Town of Brookhaven Regional Record Center in Bellport to welcome Port Jefferson EMS and thank them for leasing out space to store their public records.
State law requires public entities to keep a set of records for a specific length of time, depending on the type of document.
Port Jefferson EMS is the first outside organization that the Town Clerk has worked with to lease the record center space and the first of many civics, fire districts, historic societies, etc. that are interested in the service.
“Collaboration is the key to preserving history and ensuring efficient record management. By partnering with inter-municipal organizations, we are proud to offer secure and accessible storage solutions at our newly renovated record center, safeguarding vital records for generations to come,” said LaValle
The Town Clerk’s office is located at Brookhaven Town Hall, One Independence Hill in Farmingville. For more information, call 631-451-9101.
