The Jackson County Budget Committee voted to recommend perfection of an ordinance to appropriate $10,315 from the undesignated fund balance of the 2025 grant fund and to accept a Local Records Preservation Grant from the Missouri Secretary of State for use by the Jackson County Recorder of Deeds.

Committee Chair Legislator Charlie Franklin opened the agenda item and asked if anyone wished to speak on the grant. A staff member explained the request was to appropriate the awarded grant and record it on the county’s books. Franklin then called for a motion; an unnamed member moved to perfect the ordinance and another unnamed member seconded. The committee voiced aye and the item, listed as 06/2014, was recommended for perfection.

The action covers acceptance of a grant through the Missouri Secretary of State’s Local Records Preservation program and an appropriation of $10,315 from the county’s undesignated grant fund balance to the Recorder of Deeds for local records preservation work. No further details on the specific records projects, project timeline, or matching funds were provided in the meeting record.

The committee did not specify an implementation schedule or next steps at the meeting beyond the recommendation for perfection; any subsequent final adoption or administrative steps were not discussed on the record.
