Freeholder Meetings: Clerk of the Board, 1938-1990

These files were part of a transfer of 386 record cartons to the Archives in January 1995. The record series contained approximately 92 cartons of files pertaining to meetings of the Board of Chosen Freeholders. With approval of the Clerk of the Board, these files were weeded for documents duplicative of the Minute Books (Series 1900). As a result of this procedure, thirty-six boxes of files were retained and fifty-six discarded.

Although the most important business of the Board is recorded in the Minute Books, the Clerk’s files contain many documents of interest, for example:

6/6/1951	Bert C. Lugannani’s Spanish American War of 1898, Veteran discharge
5/15/1963	Booklet extolling County issued to promote bond sales
3/16/1965	Sketch of property to be sold to County for new jail
3/15/1966	Report on need for a community college (later Brookdale)
11/15/1966	Material re astronaut Buzz Aldrin of Brielle
3/18/1989	Letter from astronaut Russell Schweikert
4/6/1971	Records pertaining to Loretta Foy, who worked for County for 52 years without taking a sick day
8/17/1971	Recognition of noted explorer Commander Isaac “Ike” Schlossbach
7/8/1972	Letter re revenue sharing received from V.P. Spiro Agnew

These records are open to researchers.

The records are available in the Archives.

These files are arranged chronologically.
