SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECONIIKENDATION
I
Adopt a position. indicating that the Board of Supervisors is the
SPONSOR of SB 1877 by Senator Boatwright which would authorize
the Board of Supervisors of any county to increase the civil
filing fee to assist in paying for micrographics equipment and
for automating the County Clerk' s records and Municipal Court
records.
BACKGROUND-
I
Under current law, a fee of $1. 00 is authorized, in additional to
all other civil filing fees, to defray the cost of automating the
County Clerk and Municipal Court recordkeeping systems and
conversion of the County Clerk and Municipal Court document
storage system to micrographics.
SB 1877 has been introduced by Senator Boatwright, at the request
of the Board of Supervisors, to allow an increase in this fee.
As introduced, SB 1877 would authorize the Board of Supervisors
to increase this fee to $3 . 00, providing the Board provides
matching funds equal to the amount of the increase and providing
that the funds are used exclusively to pay the costs of
automating the County Clerk and Municipal Court recordkeeping
system or the !conversion of the Court' s document system to
micrographics, or both.
The increased fee would not apply to small claims cases.
In view of the .1fact that this bill has been introduced at the
request of the Board of Supervisors it would be appropriate for
the Board to indicate that it is the sponsor of the bill.
