I have been employed by the Logan County Circuit Clerk's Office for
33 years while being elected as Logan County Circuit Clerk in
November 2010 to fill a 2 year unexpired term as Logan County
Circuit Clerk.
With 13% budget
cuts handed to each of the county offices this fiscal year I have
been able to maintain the quality, the integrity, and uphold the
running of my office while providing our court system with the
necessary and customary services needed to operate on a day-to-day
basis.
Internally I have
taken steps to stay within my budget even though costs have risen. I
have updated our collections procedures per statute, which is
bringing in more revenue for the county. I have utilized part time
workers with the document storage procedures.
Although a scanning
project has been in place I have been able to enhance this archival
procedure by updating a logging system for these records, which
means easier searching of these records.
As the caseload
continues to grow and space is becoming a true issue for storage I
have implemented a plan to allow the progress of the
retention/destruction process of court records per statute
guidelines.
