SUBJECT:
HEARING ON PROPOSED COUNTY CLERK AND ELECTION FEES
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)h BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
I
Fix Tuesday, January 12, 1993 at 11:00 a.m. for a public hearing on the proposed increase of
election services fees from $150.00 to $161.75 per precinct and the establishment of a criminal
index magnetic tape fee of $125.00.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
I
Departmental revenues are expected to increase to support the costs of fixed asset replacement
and general operating costs.
BACKGROUND:
The County Clerk has identified a need to augment and replace several pieces of equipment
necessary for the proper conduct of elections. The County Clerk,proposes to increase election
precinct fees to raise sufficient funds to obtain the required equipment. Proceeds from the fee
increase are to be deposited into a revolving account specifically for fixed asset replacement in
the Elections Division. The increase in election precinct fees will allow for the long-term lease
purchase of card readers, an inserter and a conveyor machine.
The County Clerk has been charging $125.00 per month for subscription to a monthly update via
magnetic tapes for civil index and fictitious business name information. Charges for the magnetic
tapes partially recover the costs of data entry, computer utilization and terminals. Requests from
various agencies for criminal index data, housed on the County's mainframe computer, has
become more frequent. The County Clerk is proposing to establish a charge for criminal index
tapes at the same rate as civil index tapes to help defray costs of data maintenance and tape
production.
