At the Urbana City Council's Committee of the Whole meeting last night a couple initial approvals past that require final approval in next week's City Council regular meeting (schedule and how to attend here). From today's News-Gazette:
Urbana council gives initial OK to letting city staff e-file some recordsFull article here.
The city council gave initial approval Monday to an agreement that would allow city staff to record certain documents electronically.
If given final approval next week, staff would use software from Simplifile LC to remotely file documents with the Champaign County Recorder's Office. The office has already entered into a contractual arrangement with Simplifile, according to a city resolution.
At the moment, when city staff wants to file documents with the county recorder, they must go to the recorder's office at Brookens Administrative Center on East Washington Street. The resolution states that the switch to electronic filing would leave more time for staffers to handle other duties.
In other business, the council also gave initial approval to cleaning up job titles in the city code.
Mayor Diane Marlin said the change would reflect title changes in past years and delete offices and titles that haven't had appointees for years, including "city treasurer" and "Office of the Budget Director."
