Discussion ensued in regard to tabling this item and asking staff to work with Rick Woodard, Manager of Microfilm for the Clerk, and come up with a solution to satisfy both sides. It was noted that Mr. Woodard is on vacation and will not be back for another week. Attorney Collins advised that he will ask Mr. Woodard to be present when this items comes back to the Board. Discussion continued and Mr. Musick advised that his computer man says you can digitize these plats and store them on floppy discs. Chairman Scurlock believed in our Building Department we have a reserve account of about .$600,000. He assumed what these plats are used for ultimately is to build something, and he wondered if those funds could be used to buy a piece of equipment that would help the Clerk and ultimately help us not make a lot of mistakes. Commissioner Eggert continued to stress the need for all the wording on the plats to be readable without them being so huge it makes them equally ungainly. Mr. Musick believed the surveyors and engineers can perform a little disciplinary action within the ranks and make sure they use the finest pens and make the letters as large as they can. He hoped the.Board would table this item at this time. The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard. Robert "Flip" Lloyd, Engineer and Surveyor, expressed his opposition for the same reasons enumerated by Mr. Musick. He believed other equipment may be the answer. He also pointed out that there is a plat book where the large plats are available for the public to see and what is proposed won't do anything for the old recorded plats in any event. He further noted that the state requires that platting be legible. Attorney Dorothy Hudson advised that she did not see any problem with multi -page plats, and stated that she was in favor of anything that improves their legibility. JUL 2 6 1988 28 BooK .73 pnE 274
