County auditor requests temporary intern for records digitization; commissioners approve contract

County Auditor Diana Topping joined the meeting by phone to describe next steps in an SBS portals digitization project and the need to inventory boxes of records in advance of transfer to SBS. Topping said she and staff lack time to create a complete inventory, and recommended contracting an intern who recently completed a master's degree at Purdue to perform the work over the summer. "I was made aware of an intern who was looking for a part time job, who was way overqualified... he just finished his master's degree at Purdue for computer engineering," she said.
