Council approves $6,000 from Recorder's Perpetuation Fund for training and supplies
Summary
The Adams County Council passed Ordinance 2024-17 to allocate $6,000 from the Recorder’s Perpetuation Fund for training, office supplies and supplemental Recorder expenses in 2025.
The Adams County Council approved Ordinance 2024-17 on Sept. 4 to allocate $6,000 from the Recorder’s Perpetuation Fund for the Recorder’s office to cover training, office supplies and other department expenses in 2025.
County staff said the fund was established pursuant to Indiana Code (cited in the meeting as "Indiana Code 30 six-two-seven-ten") and that an affidavit by the county recorder states the fund’s current revenue is sufficient to meet statutory purposes while allowing the proposed $6,000 distribution. The ordinance mirrors similar annual allocations the Recorder’s Office has brought to the council in prior years.
A council member moved and the council voted to approve the $6,000 allocation. The council’s action authorizes the Recorder to use the perpertuation fund for the listed departmental purposes in 2025.
Why it matters: the Recorder’s Perpetuation Fund is a statutorily authorized special fund used for records management, technology and related costs; the ordinance allows modest supplemental department spending next year without tapping general fund dollars.
Next steps: the Recorder’s Office will spend the funds within the fund’s statutory purposes and report expenditures as required.
