Chairman asks probate judge for four-year breakdown of vital-records fees tied to election supplement
Summary
Chairman Lee Boone asked Probate Judge Joseph Bledsoe to provide a four-year breakdown of death and birth certificates issued and the amount of the state-mandated elections superintendent supplement, after an elections board and superintendent were established.
Chairman Lee Boone told the board that Probate Judge Joseph Bledsoe receives a supplement salary mandated by state law for conducting elections and also retains fees for issuing death and birth certificates, also mandated by state law. Boone said the supplement will continue to be paid to Judge Bledsoe even though responsibility for elections moved to an elections board and a newly hired elections superintendent.
After discussion, Chairman Boone asked Judge Bledsoe to provide a four-year breakdown of all death and birth certificates issued and the amount of the salary supplement over that period. The meeting record does not include the supplement totals or the breakdown; those figures were requested for further clarification.
