A delegation of the NYSLTA Title Insurance Section met with Nassau County Clerk O'Connell and her senior deputies on Monday October 26 at the County Office Building in Mineola, NY. A group of Xerox team members joined via phone conference.

The conversation was informative and businesslike.

As of this date, the Xerox team is projecting completion of implementation and internet access to the system by mid-November.  Anyone who is familiar with complex systems such as this must acknowledge the potential for unforeseen delays.  It is only reasonable to allow some flexibility to this target date.

The ACS system is currently in use in other NY counties and these can be found via uslandrecords.com and nylandrecords.com. 

When the new system is fully launched, the Clerk intends to offer informational presentations and training sessions for her staff as well as public users of the system.  The title industry must anticipate slightly longer task completion times while people become accustomed to the new system and different ways of searching and examining land records.

The cost for accessing the system and using different features have not yet been announced.

Clerk O'Connell has committed to ongoing meetings with the NYSLTA Land Records Committee on a quarterly basis.
