First Computer upgrade for Pike County Clerks' Office in 25 Years.
New computers and printers were installed this week at all locations of the Pike County Clerk’s office- in the downtown courthouse as well as at branch offices at Belfry, Phelps and Elkhorn City.
This is the first computer upgrade since the original system was installed in 1983, according to Lillian Pearl Elliott, Pike County Clerk. “ We are really grateful to get these new computers and printers. It’s long overdue. Eventually, once we get used to them, this should make vehicle registration faster and easier,” Elliott’s office processes almost 60,000 registrations each year, including boats, motorcycles, cars, trucks, RV’s and commercial vehicles. Bill Neighbert, Transportation Secretary said that the county clerks desperately need new equipment so they can do their jobs efficiently. The state has set aside $750,000 over the next two years to replace old terminals, printers and networks in county clerks’ offices in all 120 counties.
Caleb Young and Greg Thomas from the Commonwealth Office of Technology spent three days in Pike County replacing 23 computers and nine printers in the main office at the courthouse as well as two computers and one printer at each branch office
