Link, Jr. <br /> Orange County Manager <br /> P. O. Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br /> Dear Mr. Link: <br /> Orange County is invited to make application this year. for a <br /> State Matching Grant under the provisions of the North Carolina <br /> Land Records Management Program (LRMP) . We anticipate having at <br /> a minimum, $350, 000 for the coming FY 1993-94 . We are asking the <br /> legislature for three and one half million dollars for the <br /> Program for this time period. Whatever we receive we will award <br /> grants on a 50/50 matching basis to those counties whose <br /> applications qualify according to North Carolina G. S. 102-15, 16, <br /> and 17 . A copy of the grant application form is attached. <br /> If your county has not applied for a LRMP grant in the past, the <br /> Land Records Management Division staff can assist you in the <br /> preparation of your application. For those counties who have <br /> previously submitted applications for grant funds, we request <br /> that you resubmit your long range plan and project description <br /> with the application and also highlight any changes to the plan <br /> and/or the project description. As in the past, we can only <br /> accept one application from a county; however, that application <br /> can encompass multiple projects affecting several county offices. <br /> According to law, we can award grants only for the development of <br /> (1) base maps, (2) cadastral or "property" maps, (3) a system of <br /> parcel identifier numbers, and/or (4) an automated system for <br /> land records. Because of the limited funds available, we will <br /> not be able to approve grants for the purchase of <br /> central/mainframe computers. We will consider, however, grants <br /> for such auxiliary equipment as PC's/workstations, digitizers, <br /> scanners, plotters, reader/printers, etc. under the automation <br /> category. Also, due to the mandatory indexing requirements which <br /> become effective soon, special consideration will be given to <br /> register of deeds offices wishing to automate their indexing <br /> operations. <br /> 300 N. SALISBURY STREET, RALEIGH, N.C. 27603-5909 <br />
