        HONORING  Town Clerk Cheryl L. Shackelton upon the

  WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative  Body  to  acknowledge
the  significant  milestones  in  the  distinguished careers of esteemed
residents of this noble Empire State; and

  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Town  Clerk  Cheryl  L.  Shackelton  upon the occasion of her retirement
after 40 years of distinguished service; and

  WHEREAS, Cheryl Shackelton began her  career  as  a  planning  board
clerk in 1978; later that year, she became zoning board of appeals (ZBA)
clerk; and

  WHEREAS, On July 3, 1979, Cheryl Shackelton was appointed town clerk
and  registrar  of  vital statistics; in this capacity, she instituted a
records  management  plan  after  attending  a  town  clerk  conference;
established  the  lateral file system for property records by tax number
rather than names; and initiated the  organization  of  local  laws  and
codes into a code book; and

  WHEREAS,  She  was subsequently elected town clerk and has since won
every election; and in most cases she was unopposed, a testimony to  the
esteem in which she was held by those in both parties; and

  WHEREAS,  She  has  nearly  completed  a  complete  preservation and
restoration of town  records,  and  organized  the  clerk's  office  and
records room when the new town hall opened in 1995; and

  WHEREAS,  For  the  past 40 years, Cheryl L. Shackelton has rendered
faithful,  conscientious  and  valuable  service  to  the  community  of
Oneonta,  earning the admiration, esteem and affection of her colleagues
and the public; and

  WHEREAS, In her capacity as Oneonta town  clerk,  Cheryl  Shackelton
served  with  loyalty, honor and distinction, and was governed by a keen
sense of duty and always showed a unique grasp of human problems in  her
official acts; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense of this Legislative Body that those who
enhance the quality of life in their community and have shown a long and
sustained commitment to the  maintenance  of  high  standards  in  their
profession,  certainly  have  earned the recognition and applause of all
the citizens of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
honor  Clerk Cheryl Shackelton upon the occasion of her retirement after
40 years of distinguished  service  to  the  Town  of  Oneonta  and  its
citizens on May 30, 2019; and be it further


  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Cheryl Shackelton.
