County recorder says office will continue monthly document copies; commissioners agree to pursue fee increase ordinance
Summary
The Adams County recorder told commissioners her office sells microfilm/microfiche copies at 15¢ per document and has an agreement request from Black Knight Data & Analytics; the board asked for an ordinance to raise the statutory maximum to 20¢ and asked staff to bring back an ordinance for consideration.
The county recorder told commissioners her office sells copies of recorded documents once a month and currently charges 15¢ per document; she said a firm, Black Knight Data & Analytics, has asked to enter into a purchase agreement. The recorder asked for approval to proceed with the agreement and to raise the per‑document fee to the statutory maximum of 20¢ effective Jan. 1.
The recorder described the sales process: DocSpot (or a contracted vendor) compiles the monthly batch, the office charges 15¢ and the vendor retains 3¢; the recorder said a new firm wants a similar arrangement. Clayton, the county's legal staff, had been consulted and the board asked that the recorder bring a draft ordinance to raise the fee to 20¢ to a future meeting. Commissioners approved proceeding with the agreement and asked for an ordinance to be drafted. The meeting record shows the motion passed by voice vote.
Ending: The recorder will provide a draft ordinance to raise the per‑document copy fee to 20¢ for commissioner review and bring the proposed agreement for Black Knight back to the board for formal approval.
