Commissioners approve District Court recording upgrade after staff warns of gaps in current system
District Court staff reported sporadic failures and limited customer service with the county's current courtroom recording system and recommended switching to a cloud-enabled vendor, For The Record, which offers transcript access and other features. Staff said the county's current annual contract was about $978 and the new service would raise that to approximately $3,700 per year; court staff said some of the cost for next year might be offset by possible Supreme Court funding but that amount was uncertain.

Commissioners discussed timing and whether to pay for the upgrade this fiscal year or include it in next year’s budget. A motion was made to approve the technology upgrade for District Court, funded from Fund 200 (excess revenue), and the motion carried by voice vote.

Court staff also requested a small, one-time purchase (approx. $150–$200) for a wooden table in a conference room; commissioners agreed informally to assist with logistics.
