RECOMMENDED ACTION(S)
Authorize the Clerk-Recorder to pay $116,908.17 to the Attorney General's Office for the department's share of the cost of developing and implementing regulations for the California Electronic Recording Delivery System (ERDS).
SUMMARY:
Authorize the Clerk-Recorder to pay an amount not to exceed $116,908.17 to the State Attorney General's Office, for fiscal year 2004-2005 and fiscal year 2005-2006 to cover staff, consultant, and hearing costs for developing and implementing regulations regarding the California Electronic Recording Delivery System (ERDS).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Effective in 2005, the Electronic Recording Delivery Act (AB578) authorized the Attorney General’s Office to develop statewide electronic recording regulations. The Attorney General is scheduled to have final regulations adopted by the fall of this year.
The Clerk-Recorder Department has been working with the Attorney General’s Office to develop standards and procedures that would be consistent with the Orange County system already in place. The Clerk-Recorder is also a member of the Attorney General’s AB578 Advisory Committee,which advises on the development and implementation of the regulations. It's important to maximize convenience for current electronic recording users and to minimize any potential additional cost to the County of Orange in transitioning to the new regulations.
Each county’s proportionate share of the Attorney General’s direct cost is calculated from the number of documents recorded from the previous calendar year. The Attorney General's Office has calculated costs incurred in Fiscal Year 2004-2005, and projected to be incurred in Fiscal Year 2005-2006.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The one-time cost of $116,908.17 is a proportionate share of the direct cost of developing and implementing regulations of the ERDS for fiscal years 2004-2005 and 2005-2006, in accordance with Attachment A. The amount of this one-time expenditure will be paid from the Clerk-Recorder's budget (Fund 059).
