FUTURE BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS:
-
Exploring options to update the archival process for
County Board records to convert paper to a new storage capability such as
CD/DVD or use of emerging technology.
-
Possible reprinting of the Arlington County Code to
merge all supplements into an updated Code volume. We are currently up to Supplement #13. The Clerk, County Attorney and Zoning Administrator are exploring
the possible in-house updating of the Code and Zoning Ordinance volumes which
may require additional resources.
