Several communities in the NOCCOG received notice recently that their Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund (LGRMIF) grant applications were successful. Tug Hill Commission staff provided assistance in the preparation and submission of five Records Management Grant applications which were recently awarded funds through the New York State Archives office.
The town of Floyd was awarded $8,330 to index and access their active justice court records. The town will create a database that will improve access to over 17,000 justice court case records.
Northern Oneida County Council of Governments (NOCCOG) was awarded $24,599 on behalf of the villages of Boonville and Sylvan Beach and the towns of Vienna and Western. NOCCOG will use the funds to microfilm and digitize 55 years of payroll records for the four municipalities.
The Records Management Grant applications were submitted on February 1, 2008.
