Commission authorizes application for Records Management and Preservation grant
Summary
The commission authorized the president to sign an agreement to apply for a Records Management and Preservation grant administered through state archives and the Department of Tourism (as spoken in the meeting).
Morgan County commissioners voted July 16 to authorize the commission president to sign an agreement with state archival and records-management authorities to apply for a Records Management and Preservation grant. Staff explained the grant is funded in part by fees collected at the county level and distributed through state records-management programs; funds were described as historically returning program dollars to county offices for back-indexing and preservation work. Commissioners noted grant distributions that historically gave roughly $10,000 to the prosecutor, assessor and county clerk as examples of how the program has been used. A motion to authorize the commission president to sign the agreement between state archives/records-management entities and Morgan County passed by voice vote. Staff said the county will proceed with the application and allocate funds as specified if awarded.
