SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Currently, the Recorder’s office utilizes Digital Reel for the hosting of real property documents from 1850 to 1977 for business purposes and customer viewing in the lobby. On September 28, 2021, the Governor approved Assembly Bill No. 1466 regarding real property discriminatory restrictions. Beginning July 1, 2022, as per Government Code 12956.3, the County Recorder’s office “shall establish a restrictive covenant program to assist in the redaction of unlawfully restrictive covenants in violation of subdivision (I) of Section 12955.” The Recorder’s office is asking for the Board’s approval to move forward with BMI in compliance with said statute.
On June 11, 2024, the Board of Supervisors approved and authorized Amendment No. 1, on the same or similar terms, for an additional $3,600 for the term of September 1, 2022 through and including June 30, 2024 for a revised total agreement amount of not to exceed $51,320.
