Last year the General Assembly saved and <br />funded the land records office, but did not fund the <br />grant program. For 1992 -93, the State has made <br />$350,000 available for counties, and the program is <br />now under the Secretary of State's office. <br />The $74,000 grant request reflects a 50/50 split of <br />$37,000 in State funds and $37,000 in County funds <br />that have already been appropriated to the GIS and <br />Remapping projects. Although our application will <br />reflect $40,000 for cadastral mapping in 1992 -93 and <br />$34,000 for a GIS workstation, we expect to receive <br />only a small portion of our request, as traditionally <br />the grants have turned out to be only a few thousand <br />dollars. <br />The attached resolution is required to qualify for the <br />matching funds. <br />RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board approve a <br />resolution of participation in the State's Land <br />Records Management Program to receive a matching <br />grant. <br />
