KODIAK, Alaska (AP) - The Alaska state recorder’s office in Kodiak is among six offices from the agency that are expected to be closed because of budget cuts.
Kodiak radio station KMXT (https://is.gd/noUdiR) reports the office certifies property purchases.
Alaska has 34 recording districts. The districts are served by 11 offices, which will be decreased to five offices.
Alaska Department of Natural Resources spokeswoman Elizabeth Bluemink says the department faces a net loss of 81 positions.
She says six of those positions are in recorders’ offices, most of which are staffed by one person.
The other expected recorder’s office closures are targeted for Bethel, Homer, Ketchikan, Sitka and Valdez.
Five locations to remain open are Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Kenai and Palmer.
