Recorder proposes modest revenue increases; board receives budget adjustments
Summary
The recorder's office proposed increasing recording‑of‑instruments revenue by $25,000, real‑estate transfer tax by $10,000 and vitals by $5,000 (total $40,000). The board voted to receive the recorder budget with the changes (5‑0).
During the work session, the recorder's budget was reviewed alongside the auditor's requests. Auditor Michelle Scaff (presenting recorder items with Diane) said the office believes it is safe to increase recording‑of‑instruments revenue by $25,000 and the real‑estate transfer tax revenue by $10,000 based on historical receipts.
Scaff said the office also proposed a $5,000 increase in vital statistics revenue, bringing a combined proposed revenue increase of $40,000. She noted equipment and maintenance items—such as a replacement copier and two ceiling fans for the vault—as part of the expenses for the recorder function.
Supervisor motions to receive the recorder budget with the revenue adjustments were adopted without dissent (5‑0).
