Thank you for visiting my website. I have outlined my unique
professional qualifications and identified many of the unparalleled
accomplishments that have been achieved during my administration.
It has been an honor to serve as your Recorder during the busiest
filing period in Lake County Recorder history.
When I first took office, I immediately determined that this office
needed proven managerial leadership in the worst way. There were
undocumented loans/advances totaling $30,427 with the Lake County
Commissioners. The office did not have the funds available, and as a
result was delinquent, on its first installment payment on a large
equipment loan. The office was over staffed. Some office procedures
were outdated costing taxpayer’s hundreds of thousands of dollars. The
previous administration had let this office “get taken advantage of”
during the negotiations of a new computer system that cost Lake County
taxpayers an extra $150,000.
The Recorder's Office employees are dedicated public servants, and have
also been a pleasure to work with. The cohesive relationship between
experienced business management and a quality workforce enables Lake
County residents to take great pride in the level of cost effective
professional service that is now delivered in this office. Some of
our primary accomplishments include:
-
Eliminating the
County’s Microfilm Department that has realized a cumulative savings
of $925,989, or $185,198 per year over the past five years;
-
Eliminating the
outside reliance on a computer consultant that was costing the
Recorder an average of $48,481 per year resulting in a savings of
$387,848 over the past eight years;
-
Reducing full-time
office staff by 25%;
-
Operating this
office at an overall cost of $17,000 LESS than 10 years ago;
-
Returning $200,000
to the County Commissioners as a result of accumulated savings in
the Recorder’s Equipment Fund;
-
Having legislation
passed in Columbus that eliminates any Ohio Recorder’s office from
accepting documents containing social security numbers;
-
In 2003, the office
processed 50% more documents than in 2000, with the same level of
full-time staffing, yet incurring only a slight 8% cumulative
operating cost increase;
-
Spearheading the
identity theft fight on behalf of all residents in Lake County.
Please take a few moments to review the rest of my website. This entire
office is very proud of what we have accomplished in the past eight
years, and we are confident that you will agree that we have done a
remarkable job in greatly reducing office operating costs, streamlining
operations, and improving our accessibility.
If you have any questions or comments, your feedback would be most
welcome.
Thank you again for your continued support and
sincere encouragement as together, my office strives to deliver honest,
efficient, accurate, and cost effective government to you. I look
forward to continuing to serve you.
