§ 8.24-1. ESTABLISHMENT OF A RECORDER'S FUND.

(a) The Recorder is hereby authorized to charge an additional one dollar for filing every instrument, paper, or notice for record, as permitted by Subdivision (a) of Section 27361.4 of the Government Code of the State of California.

(b) There shall be established in the treasury of the City and County of San Francisco a special fund to be known as the Document Storage Conversion Fund into which shall be deposited all the additional fees collected by the Recorder under the statutory authority above-referenced. The monies received into this fund are to be used exclusively to defray the cost of converting the Recorder's documents to micrographics, which includes the purchasing of reader/printers and a rapid computer-assisted retrieval system; the hiring of personnel; and the funding for micrographic training expenses, cabinets for storage and other related supplies, equipment, furniture and moving expenses. The expenditures from said fund shall be in accordance with the budget and fiscal provisions of the Charter. Any balance remaining in the fund at the close of any fiscal year shall have been deemed to have been provided for a specific purpose within the meaning of Section 6.306 of the Charter and shall be carried forward and accumulated in said fund for the purpose recited above. Upon completion of the conversion and payment of the costs therefor the additional fees authorized by this section shall no longer be imposed and the fund shall be terminated.
