MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #02248
By: General Government Committee, William R. Patterson, Chairperson
IN RE: CLERK/REGISTER OF DEEDS - VITAL RECORDS IMAGING PROJECT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Vital Statistics Section of the Oakland County Clerk/Registers Legal Division is vested
with the legal responsibility to safeguard and manage all state required records pertaining to birth, death,
marriage, concealed weapons permits, assumed names, co-partnerships, notary public, and military DD
214 forms; and
WHEREAS currently, the Vital Statistics Section has in its possession of over 2,000,000 vital records
which are not held in any duplicated format in the form of a backup system, which if destroyed due to fire
or other natural or human initiated disaster would have to be recreated, if possible, with available copies
being purchased from other sources, i.e. the State of Michigan, at enormous cost to the citizens of this
county; and
WHEREAS in keeping with Oakland County's desire to be a technological leader among the counties of
this state, and of the nation, it is desirable to place the vital records in possession of the Oakland County
Clerk/Registers Office into an electronic medium which would dramatically reduce the storage areas and
man-hours necessary to record, store, and retrieve vital records within its control making these records
readily available to the public either at the service counter and the INTERNET via @ccess Oakland; and
WHEREAS this imaging project has been studied and recommended by staff in both the Clerk/Registers
Office, Information Technology, and by the IT Leadership Committee, which created a Request for
Proposal (RFP) and conducted numerous interviews from which Xerox Connect was selected as that
bidder which most conformed with the RFP in ability and cost having come in with a bid of $525,113.29,
which would back scan the approximately 2,000,000 vital records currently in possession of the
Clerk/Register’s Vital Statistics Section and provide for a forward scan solution for the handling of future
filings with that office; further, that in addition, it is estimated that there will be associated costs to Oakland
County Information Technology at a cost of $170,000.00 for development and implementation of the
scanning project and @ccess Oakland product, plus an added amount for contingency of $26,886.71 for
a total request for funding of $722,000.00 for this project; and
WHEREAS the benefits of this program are numerous, including but not limited to: reduced manpower
requirements, greatly enhanced service to our public resulting in faster counter service, more efficient
access to vital records, greater efficiency in office operations, provide the public the ability to order vital
records on-line as is offered in surrounding counties, and providing for secure duplication and storage of
vital records constitutionally required to be in the possession of the Clerk/Register and safeguarded by
that office; and
WHEREAS complete funding of this project over a period of four years may be accomplished by
authorizing an increase in the cost of certified copies issued from the Clerk/Registers Vital Statistics
Section, as authorized by MCL 333.2891(4), which statute has authorized this county to raise its fees for
a number of services presently performed in the vital records office, as follows:
Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 24, 2002

(c) Additional years searched Currently not charged 5.00
(d) An authenticated copy Inapplicable
(e) Additional Authenticated copy Inapplicable
(f) Verification of facts Currently not charged 5.00
(g) A request for an expedited search for
a vital record Currently not charged 5.00
; and
WHEREAS if authorized by the Board of Commissioners, it is estimated approximately $210,000.00 per
year in additional revenue will be generated by the Clerk/Register Vital Records Section, which will fully
fund and maintain future improvements to the Vital Records Imaging Project.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that upon careful consideration, the Board of Commissioners
agrees that it is in the best interest of the citizens of the County of Oakland that the vital records currently
held, and those records yet to be received in the future, should be maintained and stored in a secure
manner by use of an electronic medium which will be used to provide more efficient and greater access to
county vital records via @ccess Oakland, and other programs which may be developed in the future,
which will keep Oakland County government at the forefront of public service.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk/Register shall proceed on implementation of the Vital
Statistics Scan and Index project through Xerox Connect at a cost of $525,113.29, additional in-house
support and development cost of $170,000.00 to Information Technology, and contingency added of
$26,886.71 for a total cost of this project of $722,000.00.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that funding for this project has been identified providing the funding for
this project by increasing the cost of certified copies and other services as outlined in the foregoing
resolution, which the office of the Clerk/Register is hereby authorized to implement upon adoption of this
resolution.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
