RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF DAVID AND HIS STAFF

♦In 2009, Clerk Orr took over recent birth and death records from the City of Chicago resulting in quicker turnaround for customers — significant increase in revenue while using fewer staff.
♦In late 2009 we unveiled an upgraded website--cookcountyclerk.com to comply with 21st century standards such as ADA accessibility resulting in expanded multi-media capacity, a map room, a database of notable Cook County natives (Sweet Home Cook County), a Directory of Elected Officials and an award-winning Genealogy website.
♦In 2010, we implemented our Lobbyist Sunshine Ordinance creating a new, on-line filing system for all lobbyists. This cuts postage, paperwork and labor costs, plus improves our ability to track lobbyist registration. The website boasts a public portal which allows anyone with internet access to explore the lobbyist registration database.
♦In 2010 we launched a new Election Judge Management System, enabling election judges and committeemen to connect with us online. In 2009 we reduced the number of precincts in Cook County from 2,290 to 1,937 by consolidating underutilized precincts. This will save roughly $1 million in election judge, equipment, and moving costs.
♦In late 2009 to shed more light on Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts, we launched an on-line tool letting taxpayers with a PIN number see if that property is in a TIF district and if so, see the percentage of tax distributed to the TIF fund.

“We’re lucky to have a great public servant, like David.” -Congressman Danny Davis
