Committee questions need for microfilming, considers digitizing records
Summary
Committee members debated whether to continue microfilming county records and discussed digitization studies; the Chair suggested the current microfilming employee could be reassigned if duties change but no decision was made.
Members questioned whether the county should continue microfilming records or move to digitized storage, with a committee member saying departments must research which documents legally require paper storage. The Chair said the microfilming role might instead take on different duties if digitization moves forward, but emphasized more analysis was needed.
A committee member recommended bringing the staff member who handles records (referred to as "Tracy" in the transcript) to explain responsibilities so the committee could properly assess how duties would be absorbed in any consolidation. No timeline or firm directive on digitization was recorded.
