Recorder's office to buy new scanner, board approves purchase from perpetuation fund
Summary
The Daviess County recorder presented vendor quotes for a document scanner, installation and maintenance; commissioners approved the expenditure to continue digitizing records, funded from the recorder perpetuation account.
Rosanna (Recorder) told the board the office needs a replacement scanner after roughly 10 years of use and presented two quotes; she recommended the vendor that manufactures the scanner. The quoted package included the scanner (approximately $26,000), on-site installation and training (about $1,850), an annual maintenance/service contract (about $3,250), shipping (about $550), and a recommended PC (about $1,500).
Rosanna said past scanning projects have already digitized decades of deed records and that the recorder’s perpetuation fund will pay the cost. Commissioners asked about funding and deployment; Rosanna confirmed budget availability in the recorder perpetuation account. The board approved the purchase by motion and unanimous vote (3-0).
