Summary
County leaders thanked Register of Deeds staff for efforts to restore services after disruptions and noted preparations for an upcoming audit; officials also congratulated two employees, Jamie and Randy.
WEXFORD COUNTY, Mich. — County officials recognized the Register of Deeds office for ongoing work to restore services and congratulated two employees for their service, while noting the county’s preparations for a forthcoming audit.
A county official reported that staff in the Register of Deeds office "have been working since November 5, diligently trying to get things back," and said media attention had been "very good to us" though the office faced challenges. The official thanked employees Jamie and Randy by name: "I can't tell you what great employees and how how blessed I am to be able to work with both of them." The board offered general congratulations.
Separately, a county staff member said several officials recently attended the Michigan Association of Counties legislative conference and relayed concern that some state grant funding levels are uncertain; the speaker said a six‑bill package could increase road funding but it was unclear where the money would come from.
