The county recorder told the Finance Committee Sept. 3 that the office issued an RFP for digitization services and received a proposal of $56,320 to convert microfilm and related records.

The recorder said $19,000 remains in ARPA funds allocated previously for microfilm conversion; she proposed using the leftover ARPA dollars and covering the remaining $37,320 from the recorder automation fund. "The RFP that was received, was for $56,320. So I'm gonna use 19,000 of that ARPA money and then the rest from recorder automation to, do this next round of digitization," the recorder said.

The committee did not take formal action Sept. 3; the recorder provided the update for committee awareness and said she would proceed with contracting under the described funding plan pending any committee questions.
