The end of the summer brought the departure of our college interns. This change required me to make some staffing changes to continue projects the interns were working on through the summer. Specifically, I needed to re-assign staff to keep our record book re-scanning project going. In a unique strategy we are attacking this project on two fronts. One group is moving downward from book 1,300 to book 1 and a second is moving forward from book 6,000-7,500. The older books are much more difficult to scan. But, back to the staff…it is no secret that the number of documents we are recording is significantly down. This includes both Middlesex North and our South Satellite Office. This decrease in business has freed up manpower that can be redistributed to other areas. I have begun to assign some of the recording counter staff to fill the work void created by the loss of the interns. To make sure the public isn’t inconvenienced, the assignments are very flexible and allow a huge amount of employee discretiton.
