BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to NRS 19.016, the County Clerk receives $5 for fee for each document filed. Pursuant to NRS 246.180, the County Clerk receives $3 for filing a certificate of marriage. In addition, the Board of County Commissioners approved the County Clerk to receive $5 from the passport acceptance fee and any revenue collected from passport photo services. These commissions are all combined and accounted for in the County Clerk Tech Fee Fund, which was created by ordinance.
The money in the account must be used for the acquisition and improvement of technology in the office of the County Clerk, and must be used only in the office of the County Clerk, including, without limitation to:
1) Acquire, improve, support, or maintain technology,
2) Train employees in the operation of the technology, and,
3) Acquire temporary or permanent staff or professional services to implement, support or maintain technology that enhances customer service, improves efficiency, or promotes transparency in government.
The County Clerk now submits this report to the Board of County Commissioners, which contains a general plan for expenditures of the proceeds from the additional commission collected.
