The clerk/treasurer’s office oversees key county functions, from election administration and financial management to public record maintenance and meeting minute preparation, and ensures residents have access to information. Those responsibilities framed the department’s presentation during the Feb. 19 county commission budget hearing, where the office outlined several technology‑related increases tied to ongoing operational needs.
The office requested a $580 increase for computer and printer expenses to support maintenance of the commission chambers’ audiovisual system, including Americans with Disabilities Act‑compliant upgrades such as hearing‑assistance devices. An additional $440 increase was sought for clerk/treasurer software needs.
In the election budget, voter registration software costs rose by $13,100, bringing the total to $22,784.25. The office noted that past grant reimbursements totaling $80,000 to $100,000 in recent years have helped offset election expenses, and similar reimbursements are expected moving forward.
The department also requested $3,600 for new blinds.
