Shelby M. Mundy

BACKGROUND

• Mundy, 33, of Shelter Island, a registered Democrat, is making her first bid for elected office. She is running on the Democratic Party line. She has been a senior account clerk in the supervisor’s office for seven years. 
• Mundy said she earned her bachelor’s degree in business administration at Flagler College. She is a 2010 graduate of the Shelter Island Union Free School District. 
• She is a former member of the town’s ethics board and a member of the American Legion Auxiliary. 

ISSUES

• Mundy said she will work to increase efficiency by modernizing procedures and adding technology. She also would expand the office hours from their current 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekday schedule to have some Saturday hours for beach passes and a possible later evening closing time.
• She will work to increase residents’ accessibility by indexing inactive records and archives, then digitizing them in an online searchable index. She said she would look for grants to help defray costs and work to preserve old documents in collaboration with the Shelter Island History Museum staff.
• To improve communication with residents, Mundy said she would suggest social media accounts and a town newsletter or text alerts to get information out to people who don’t use social media.
