efficient and uniform system for the maintenance of birth and death

DATE: June 6, 1988
SUBJECT: Council Agenda, June 9, 1988'
ITEM: 9C. Consider a resolution authorizing the County Clerk's Office
to serve as the official registrar for birth and death records
for the City of Round Rock.
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Joanne Land
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: When Round Rock Community Hospital was first opened
the City was asked if it would be possible for
the Justice of the Peace's office to handle
all the birth and death records for the City.
Since a part -time employee would have been needed
by the City to help with the task, it was decided
the JP's office would record the birth and death
certificates prior to recordation at the County
and State level.
With the resignation of Dusty Gillum as Justice
of the Peace and subsequent appointment of Jennifer
Mattingly, the City now has the opportunity
to consolidate duties performed by both the
County Clerk and JP. It is our understanding
the JP's office no longer wishes to perform
the duties of being the City's registrar. The
County Clerk's office has contacted the City
twice expressing their desire to be the City's
official registrar at no cost to the City.
Staff recommends the County Clerk's Office be
designated as the official registrar of birth
and death records for the City of Round Rock.
This will enable all birth and death certificates
be sent to one place and recorded one time thus
eliminating delays in receiving certified copies
and also there is less confusion for the persons
having to deal with these matters.
