[edit] Open Records
The county is working on a new system of providing records to the public. They have signed a one-year contract with the company Doxpop "to provide all county records that are public information" for a fee. Users of the system will pay a $1.00 per page fee to Doxpop, who will pass the fee onto the county recorder's office. A link to the public records access system will be provided on the county's website, according to County Recorder Deb Wright. [7]
