Chapter Liason with the CRAC
Kyle Brook interested in putting forward motion for CLSA Chapter to appoint him as a Liason to the CRAC (County Recorder's Association of California) (https://www.craconline.org)
His goal is to begin a dialog with Recorder's to determine if new recording methods may be applicable so we can someday digitally record maps.
Last meeting discussion revealed concern that this is not in our “authority” as a chapter, that it would be best to have such a position be done at the CLSA State level, as CRAC is a state level organization.
Chapter rep(s) will inquire at directors meeting about whether it is appropriate for a Chapter to have a liaison to a State wide agency.
A motion was made to have Kyle Brook represent the chapter at the directors meeting to promote having liaison relationship with CRAC.
The motion was tabled to allow Kyle time to prepare a presentation for the board.
New Chapter Secretary
Kyle was unanimously elected to be the Chapter Secretary
