SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)8 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECONIlENDATION
Indicate that the Board of Supervisors continues to be 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:
Part of the Board' s 1990 Legislative Program called for
legislation which would increase the civil filing fee which was
charged so that a portion of such fee could be dedicated to
paying for the cost of automating the County Clerk' s and
Municipal Court' s records.
Under current law, a fee of $1 . 00 is authorized, in addition 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.
On February 13 , 1990 the Board of Supervisors indicated its
sponsorship of SB 1877 . The bill was amended on April 4, 1990 .
As amended, SB 1877 would authorize the Board of Supervisors to

M382 (10/88) BY DEPUTY
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 apply to those small claims cases which
are filed by other than individuals but would not apply to small
claims cases filed by individuals.
In view of the fact that this bill has been introduced at the
request of the Board of Supervisors and continues to reflect the
position of the Board of Supervisors it would be appropriate for
the Board to indicate that it continues to be the sponsor of the
bill.
