Board discusses MOU and start‑date options for chief deputy register of deeds; opts for longer training overlap
Summary
The committee reviewed a memorandum of understanding clarifying the chief deputy register‑of‑deeds as a salaried, clerk‑appointed position and agreed by consensus to set a longer overlap/training option (option A) for the incoming chief deputy to preserve institutional knowledge.
County staff presented a memorandum of understanding clarifying that the chief deputy register‑of‑deeds is a salaried position appointed by the county clerk, and noted statutory caveats (salary cannot be lowered during a term; salary must be set by November for the next term). Members discussed practical concerns — vacation, time off, and the administrative load that can occur if salary and duties are not set clearly — and asked for additional time to vet details.
Separately, the board debated effective start‑date options for the incoming chief deputy director of deeds and favored the option that provides the most overlap and hands‑on training so the outgoing official can transfer institutional knowledge. The board reached consensus for option A (the longer overlap/training window), with references in discussion to an August 17 start date for related personnel planning. Members noted the MOU and start‑date items will be placed on next week's consent agenda for additional review.
