RE: Approval of a grant award from the State of Michigan to provide for the 2025 Remonumentation efforts by Genesee County's Surveyor; the budget for this grant is attached
recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Acceptance of 2025 Remonumentation Grant from the State of Michigan
BACKGROUND:
The Remonumenation program has been ongoing since 1992.
DISCUSSION:
The survey monuments within the County were first established starting in 1822. The first systematic program to revisit and confirm all monuments was initiated in 1992. After nearly 30 years the program expanded to include the establishment of interior section corners. Currently there are a total of 3,206 points in our database relevant to this program. The number of points confirmed or established each grant year is dependent upon recordation fees received through the register of deeds. For this grant the total is 53 corners.
IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCES:
None
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
Minimal. Grant funds mostly are paid to surveyors; however, some administrative costs are included. Account for grant funds: 2971-245.00-558.000
IMPACT ON FACILITIES:
Minimal. Temporary storage of monuments in secure location.
IMPACT ON TECHNOLOGY:
The information and data collected in the Remonumenation program improve our ability to create the most accurate representation of property parcel ownership that is possible.
CONFORMITY TO COUNTY PRIORITIES:
This program contributes to long term financial stability since it is 100% funded by recordation fees. The program also falls in the category of Community Growth in that it contributes to accurate property surveys, descriptions and GIS representations which are important to economic development.
