combine the offices of County Clerk and Register of Deeds into one
office or may separate the offices if they are already combined;

commissioners, the County Clerk and Register or the individual
holding the combined office, a county resident who is an attorney,
and a county resident who is a title insurance salesperson or who
is employed in the banking of finance industry; and

hearing on the question of combining or separating the offices of
Clerk and Register of Deeds and then make a recommendation to the
board; and
WHEREAS Clerk/Register of Deeds Lynn Allen supports House Bill
5556, stating that the study committee procedure would assure a
thorough evaluation of the question of combining or separating the
offices before action is taken.

Commissioners takes a position supporting House Bill 5556.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution.be sent
