Amy Manges, Deputy Register of Deeds reported on revenue for the year as of June 18 and compared this with figures from 2011

Total Mortgage Amount for 2011 was $146,490,993 and for 2012 it was $207,766,973. Mortgage Registration tax (2011) $380,877 and (2012) 540,194. Recording fees were up about $10,000. Adding in Tech Fund and Copy fees gives year-to-date Revenues of (2011) $ 465,587 and (2012) $642,065

Register of Deeds Staff have been in ongoing professional development with work at KSU and at seminars. Both Debbie Regester and Amy have reached the gold level for re-certification for 2012.

Brad Schoen, RCPD director, talked about a proposed new training site development. The lease for the current shooting range will be up in 2018 and now is the time to begin planning. Building a comprehensive training facility here would allow more of our officers to receive this specialized training since presently they have to send people out of town. The cost of this (travel and lodging) can get expensive. If a site were developed here, other cities could send their officers here. The proposal is in 6 parts, planning for 6 years.
