Register of Deeds proposes temporary pay increase as office plans software switch

Ottawa County Board of County Commissioners · July 21, 2025

Summary

Register of Deeds Shelby Walker presented a five-month staffing plan and requested a pay raise for covering the office alone while she delays hiring until after an October software change; commissioners said they will consider the request next week.

Shelby Walker, Ottawa County Register of Deeds, presented a five-month staffing plan at the July 21 meeting and said she plans to switch the office's software vendor in October.

Walker told the board she does not want to train new staff on the current system only to retrain them after the vendor change; she therefore is postponing hires and requested a pay increase to cover running the office alone through December 2025. Commissioners did not approve the raise at the meeting; they said they will consider the request and discuss it at next week's meeting.
