Clerk's office details recording software upgrade and election remodel timeline; recording system go‑live set for April

The Ada County clerk's office provided the board an update March 11 on a planned upgrade to the county recording software and on an ongoing elections facility remodel.

Clerk's staff said Tyler Technologies conducted onsite training covering extensive workflows and that staff training would continue remotely in subsequent weeks. The clerk's office reported the project remains on schedule to go live April 7 for the recording software. Staff said the system is expected to improve front‑counter efficiency, reduce redundant tasks, and allow some customers to complete recording services remotely.

The clerk's office also updated commissioners on the elections facility remodel. Staff said demolition produced a large amount of debris early in the project but that the contractor had installed chutes and removed most materials. The office remains on target for a phased go‑live in August; staff said phasing will accommodate upcoming municipal elections. The clerk credited her project director and staff for keeping the timeline largely intact and said a few timeline items remain under close review but had not prompted a schedule change.

Staff highlighted workforce training, vendor support, and contingency planning in the rollout. The clerk's presentation referenced the county's expectations of reporting gains from the new recording system and noted internal morale and staff engagement efforts tied to the remodel, including a staff photo contest whose winners will be displayed as murals in the new facility.

No formal board action was required for the status updates; the clerk's office said it would continue to report progress to the board as rollout milestones approach.
