Summary

Deputy County Clerk Michele Burgess briefed the committee on a Tyler Technologies quote to upgrade credit card processing—estimated under $12,000—and proposed upgrading a Clerk Typist in the County Historian's Office to Senior Clerk Typist to reflect qualifications and added responsibilities.

Deputy County Clerk Michele Burgess told the committee the County Clerk's Office is exploring a payment-processing upgrade with Tyler Technologies that would allow swipe and chip payments and enable online pistol permit amendment requests; the quoted cost is just under $12,000. Burgess said the upgrade would improve customer convenience and assist with audit tracking, and the office will consult Purchasing and IT (Mr. Ury) as a next step.

Burgess also discussed staffing in the County Historian's Office. She and Ms. Freer recommended upgrading an existing Clerk Typist, who holds a bachelor's degree in museum studies, to Senior Clerk Typist to reflect the incumbent's qualifications and additional responsibilities; Ms. Freer will provide documentation to Human Resources for the formal proposal.
