County told to expect about $445,000 in document‑recording funds; decision on RFP to follow revenue monitoring
Summary
Staff announced Clallam County expects roughly $445,000 in supplemental document‑recording fee revenue for fiscal 2027; the task force will monitor receipts through June to decide whether to open an RFP or increase allocations to existing contracted providers.
Task force staff announced that Clallam County is scheduled to receive approximately $445,000 in supplemental document‑recording fee funds from the Washington State Department of Commerce for fiscal year 2027. The staff presentation explained that the allocation of these funds back to counties depends on statewide processing and that the county will monitor local revenue through June to determine whether the additional dollars can support new programming or should be used to sustain existing contracts.
Staff said options include convening a subcommittee to recommend a distribution method, opening an RFP to invite new proposals, or increasing allocations to contracted agencies depending on revenue stability. The task force will review the revenue picture at its June meeting and then decide whether to proceed with an RFP or allocate funds to contracted services.
Members were reminded that document recording fee revenue fluctuates and that the majority of the statutory pool goes to the state; the local share available for distribution is the smaller retained portion and may vary year to year.
