In an effort to better serve
customers, Chautauqua County
Clerk Larry Barmore has had
ATM machines conveniently
placed in the County Clerk's
office as well as the Jamestown
and Mayville, DMV offices.
"One of the fi rst issues I heard
about when I became County
Clerk was the inconvenience of
our customers having to go to
another location to get money
to complete their transactions,"
said Barmore. "The most
inconvenienced customers were
in the County Clerk's office
to leave the building and go
across the street or down the
block, sometimes losing their
valuable parking place and
having to go through the security checkpoint twice."
The ATM machines are available for use by the public and
employees for a nominal fee.
So far the ATM machines have
seen nearly daily use, exemplifying the need for this added
convenience.
"We're always looking for ways
to improve customer service
without burdening the taxpayers," said Barmore. "We want to
be friendly, we want to be convenient and we want our customers
to have a good experience."
Burgeson also added that
there will be a new addition to this year’s sale.
“I am very happy to announce that we (the MG
Program) have partnered
with the artists of The
Resource Center’s Day
Habilitation Services
who will be selling their
garden art at the event.”
Many of the items are
re-purposed, such as
the bowling ball sculptures, and plant stands
made from “old” chairs.
Proceeds from their art
will be used to purchase
additional craft supplies
as well as items for The
Riverwalk Community
Labyrinth. H
