Orange County <br />Board of Commissioners <br />Action Agenda Item Abstract <br />Meeting Date: October 6, 1998 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. —L-C, <br />Subject: Proposed New Register of Deeds Office Position <br />Department: Register of Deeds and Personnel Public Hearing: Yes No X <br />Budget Amendment <br />Needed: Yes No X <br />Attachment(s): <br />1- Background to Current Proposal <br />2- Register of Deeds Position Proposal (Original) <br />3- Register of Deeds Revenue Explanation <br />Information Contact: <br />Elaine Holmes, Personnel Director <br />Extension 2550 <br />Betty June Hayes, Register of <br />Deeds, Extension 2676 <br />Telephone Number: <br />Hillsborough 732 -8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968 -4501 <br />Durham 688 -7331 <br />Mebane 227 -2031 <br />Purpose: To consider establishing a new permanent part time 30 hour Deputy <br />Register of Deeds I position. <br />Background: Attachment 1 explains the background to the Register of Deeds current <br />proposal that the Board establish a new Deputy Register of Deeds I <br />position. In summary, the Register of Deeds has assessed the work <br />needs of the department. She has determined that workload increases <br />can be addressed by realigning current staff and adding one 30 hour <br />position. <br />The estimated annual cost for the proposed new position is $22,361. <br />The amount needed for the current fiscal year is $16,771. <br />If the Board chooses to establish the proposed Deputy Register of Deeds <br />I position, the position could be funded in 1998 -99 from revenues <br />projected to be received over budget by the Register of Deeds Office. <br />Attachment 3 shows that historically the Register of Deeds has collected <br />revenue in excess of budget. To fund the position the Board could <br />increase 1998 -99 budgeted revenue to cover the position cost. <br />Recommendation: The Manager recommends the Board approve establishing a new <br />permanent, part-time (30 hour) Deputy Register of Deeds I position <br />effective October 6, 1998 and increase the budgeted revenue for the <br />Register of Deeds Office to cover the cost. <br />
