As director, Scharf led departmental staff in addressing a backlog of physical records and modernizing the records retention process. These efforts saved the county millions of dollars that would have been spent on a new location to store the growing inventory of physical records.
“Based on the situation, previous county leadership were told repeatedly that a new facility was needed,” Bertino-Tarrant said. “Millions of dollars were saved because of Jennifer Scharf and her staff, who worked tirelessly to reorganize the building and modernize our systems. We can now use the current space for the foreseeable future and not burden taxpayers with a new building purchase.”
Christine Randall will serve as the next records management department director. Randall previously served as the election judge coordinator in the Will County Clerk’s Office.
