Answer 1: I am currently working with the present clerk and our computer company to build a secure website for display of public records. It has been a goal of this office to provide this convenience for some time, but it has not been feasible. Advancements in technology are bringing the cost down; now it is only a matter of time.

Answer 2: The buzz word for the next four years is BUDGET. Shelby County is under a hiring freeze and things are tight. One priority is to create an acceptable budget without cutting hours or services. Another is to protect the public?s right to inspection of records; at the same time doing what we can to preserve individual privacy and identity theft.
