Here is what you will not find in Nassau County this morning:

• Lis pendens are not indexed in the new system
• All three major eRecording companies are no longer accepting documents for Nassau County
• You won't find a County Clerk (or her staff)

I called the Clerk a few minutes ago. Understandably she and her entire staff are in a meeting. One hopes they are working to address these issues.

Members have called to say additional computers have been connect to the old system and there are computers running both systems to enable checking the completeness of the recorded data.

The eRecordng companies say they will resume eRecording in Nassau AFTER they have completed their independent testing of the system integrity.

It would be wrong to say Clerk O'Connell and her staff are doing nothing.  I cannot believe they are happy about this and I am certain they want things fixed and running smoothly.

In my message, I requested additional staff be put on to accept walk-in recordings and I urged them to communicate the status on a regular basis.  That would help diminish the fear and concern borne of uncertainty.

To Members - please note the Title Section is meeting to consider remedies.  I will report on the progress of that initiative as best as I am able.
