BUDGET TRANSFERS  
6.A.  
Budget adjustment total amount of $56,284: $20,000 from 1100-4310-50000 (Regular  
Salaries); $4,600 from 1100-4310-50010 (Overtime); $10,000 from 1100-4310-50040  
(Part Time Help); $11,684 from 1100-4310-50080 (Salary & Wage Adjustments); and  
$10,000 from 1100-4310-51040 (Employee Med & Hosp Insurance), to  
1100-4310-53090 (Other Professional Services), to pay for the non-budgeted U.S.  
Imaging film project for the Recorder of Deeds in FY2024.  
Mr. Johnson asked Member Chaplin to elaborate on the memo included with the first two  
budget transfers on the agenda. Member Chaplin explained that her office received an  
invoice for approximately $672,000 for a project that was not budgeted for and not  
competitively bid last year. She said because of how the project was managed, the film is  
unusable.  
Member Chaplin said she is meeting with the vendor to discuss if anything is able to be  
salvaged. She noted that the project moved film to film rather than digitizing it. Member  
Yoo asked if it would be useful for CIO Anthony McPhearson and or Deputy CIO  
Richard Burnson to be included in the meeting with the vendor. Member Chaplin said  
that would be a great idea, since there was no consultation with staff previously on this  
project. Mr. McPhearson said he would love to attend and suggested they can work with  
the vendor and Procurement to possibly change the scope of the contract and go digital.  
Guillermo Franco, Recorder IT staff, said they would need to increase their storage in  
order to go digital.  
Member Galassi asked if the meeting is being held to discuss switching to digital.  
Member Chaplin replied that they will be discussing whether the film is still useable as  
well as the possibility of digitization. She advised that the 6,000+ images in question are  
currently with US Imaging.  
Member Rutledge asked when the contract was signed. Member Chaplin said it was  
more of a proposal than a contract and it was signed on February 8, 2024. Mr. Burnson  
asked that the contract be sent to him and Mr. McPhearson prior to tomorrow's meeting.  
County Board Member Andrew Honig asked what film is considered not useable, to  
which Member Chaplin said all film from 1961 through 2024.  
Mr. Johnson stated that the County Clerk's office will be abstaining from the vote on  
items 6A through 6C.  
Chair Covert asked staff to advise how these three budget transfers came to be on the  
Technology Committee agenda. Committee Secretary Sarah Godzicki advised that the  
request came from the Finance Department.
