Introduced by the County Services and Finance Committees of the:

 

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

 

RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH THE POSITION OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH COORDINATOR

IN THE OFFICE OF THE REGISTER OF DEEDS

 

RESOLUTION #09-075

 

WHEREAS, the Register of Deeds desires to address the growing problems associated with homeownership and mortgage fraud; and

 

WHEREAS, this opportunity offers potential to positively impact (reduce) the number of homeowner associated difficulties; and

 

WHEREAS, the Human Resources Department conducted the job evaluation analysis and determined MCF 07 as the appropriate grade placement; and

 

WHEREAS, the Register of Deeds supports the compensation rate at MCF 07 for the associated duties and responsibilities; and

 

WHEREAS, the Controller/Administrator supports the proposed modifications; and

 

WHEREAS, the Register of Deeds (ROD) Automation fund collects approximately $310,000 annually, while expenditures total less than $180,000 annually, leaving $130,000 in excess operating funds each year; and

 

WHEREAS, the ROD Automation fund is estimated to have a 2008 year end fund balance in excess of $1 million; and

 

WHEREAS, one Register of Deeds staff person is being charged 100% to the ROD Automation fund, with the remainder being charged to the General Fund; and

 

WHEREAS, it would more accurately reflect the amount of time spent by the Register of Deeds staff on automation functions to shift the payroll charging distributions of several positions partially to the ROD Automation fund; and

 

WHEREAS, doing so will allow funding for the new Community Outreach Coordinator (long- term cost of $82,824), and reduce the overall General Fund cost of the Register of Deeds Office by $54,147.

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners establishes the position of Community Outreach Coordinator, Register of Deeds at the MCF 07 compensation grade level through January 31, 2013, subject to review of the job description by the Human Resources Director and Corporation Counsel, and liability insurance coverage.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that authorization to fill the vacancy shall become effective on the date approved by the Board of Commissioners.
