Jackson County committee approves acceptance and appropriation of local records preservation grant

Charlie Franklin called the Jackson County budget meeting to order and introduced agenda item 06/2014 (6014), which would accept a local records preservation grant from the Missouri Secretary of State and appropriate funds for use by the Jackson County Recorder of Deeds.

County administration explained the grant had already been awarded and the requested action was to accept the award and record the appropriation "on the books" for the Recorder of Deeds. The agenda text cites an appropriation from the undesignated fund balance of the 2025 grant fund; the transcript includes both a reference to "10 thousand 300" and a later specific figure of $10,315 (the transcript is inconsistent on the exact dollars sought).

A county administration representative moved to "perfect" the measure; the motion was seconded. By recorded voice vote (two "Aye" responses in the meeting record), Charlie Franklin said "6014 will be recommended for perfection." No roll-call names or further discussion of conditions for spending were stated in the transcript.

The action recorded in the meeting transcript is a recommendation that item 6014 be perfected; no subsequent vote-by-title or final adoption is shown in the transcript. The grant source is listed in the agenda as the Missouri Secretary of State, Local Records Preservation Program, for use by the Jackson County Recorder of Deeds; further details about program terms, matching requirements or reporting obligations were not specified in the transcript.
