Background and Discussion:
The Texas State Legislature has provided a means to raise revenue for the preservation of current and older county records. The County Clerk has taken advantage of the Archive Fees as an alternative to spending general fund monies to accomplish these preservation projects. Revenue collected and not expended in the fiscal year will be carried forward for use in future years. This plan will be updated annually as part of the budget process. Approval and implementation of the plan will continue to ensure the preservation of historical and current records for future generations.
