My goals for the clerk’s office are very simple:
Work Hard and Have a Great Day!
- Having friendly, efficient, fully trained deputies that can wait on each customer.
- Professionalism and integrity at work for ALL citizens of Rowan County.
- The clerk’s office under my administration will be one of transparency, honesty, and fairness.
Most operations and duties of the Clerks office are mandated and governed by state KRS laws and restrictions. Computer hardware systems are updated on a calendar schedule statewide every 5 years and maintained by State technicians. Software programs are constantly being improved and updated, again at a state level, as ALL COUNTIES, must use the same system.
Vendors chosen by each county are a decision made by the Clerk. The current Vendor for Rowan County has been the same since the early 90’s and are used by a majority of the Clerks offices as well as other government offices. The systems they have designed for the Deed rooms and bookkeeping strictly adhere to the State guidelines and are top notch.
The state rolled out the DRIVE.KY.GOV website and shortly after Rowan County courthouse moved to the current location in 2011, online renewals began. Then in 2015, the state revamped their website, and it is being shared by hundreds of other websites across the state, therefore increasing accessibility. Through the state website you can access your license plate renewal, apply for personalized plates, inquire about your vehicle taxes paid, print any forms needed for the Clerks office. As well as access to your Drivers License renewal and information. Of course, in person or mail in renewals have always been an option.
In March of 2018, State Board of Elections along with Tenex held e-poll book training at the Morehead Conference Center. We learned how to use them and how to train the poll workers, and they were used for the first time during the 2018 primary Election. When the state saw the popularity of e-poll versus paper roosters they agreed to purchase enough for the whole state. The state funded E-poll books were delivered to every county in time for the 2019 Primary Election and we were able to train the poll workers.
My time in the Rowan County Clerks office and in any position, I have ever worked, has taught me there is no I in Team. To fulfill our goals and make this the best office in Rowan County the only I, I want to use is:
I plan to lead an amazing group of deputies daily in our duties to the office and the people of this county we all love and call home!!
I deeply appreciate your support and vote on November 8, 2022.
