■We have been made aware of a new phone scam where the caller is identifying themselves as someone from the Webster Police Department. Even the Caller ID indicates the call is from the Webster Police Department. Do not provide personal or bank account information over the phone. You should hang up and contact the real Webster Police at 648-2200 or 228-1800 to report the scam call.
■The Town Clerk’s office has been relocated to the Webster Police Department with the same hours. This will allow the office to remain open and provide a safer barrier for those making in-person visits. If possible, complete renewals through the mail or leave in the drop box outside the Public Safety Building on 851 Battle Street. Since the entire office cannot be moved, please call ahead (648-2053) before making a trip to the new office and leave a message. Office hours remain unchanged: Mondays, 8 a.m. to noon and 4-8 p.m.; Wednesdays, 8 a.m. to noon and 1-4 p.m.; last Friday of the month from 8 a.m. to noon. If you are not using your renewal mailer, please indicate which vehicles you would like to renew by including the license plate number on the check. Please remember only one check payable to the Town of Webster is needed. The amount owed to the state is included in the town figure.
■The Webster Free Public Library Trustees will hold their next meeting on Wednesday at 4 p.m. This will be held using a conference call and the public is welcome to join by dialing 1-(425) 436-6362 and using the access code 455735.
