The commission approved a resolution Dec. 18 to close the Jefferson County Courthouse and county facilities to the public beginning at 1 p.m. on Dec. 24, 2025, with offices to reopen the following Monday; commissioners indicated the decision came at the request of Commissioner Knight and passed by voice and roll call.

JEFFERSON COUNTY — In a unanimous action taken at its Dec. 18 meeting, the Jefferson County Commission adopted a resolution closing the Jefferson County Courthouse and county facilities to the public beginning at 1 p.m. on Dec. 24, 2025.

The chair read the resolution on the floor and commissioners moved and seconded consideration of the new business item by unanimous consent. After a brief discussion indicating the closure was intended to allow employees holiday time, the commission conducted a roll call in which multiple commissioners recorded 'yes,' and the resolution was adopted. The transcript records the motion and several affirmative responses but does not list a complete roll‑call tally by name in the meeting text.

Commissioners discussed reopening dates (returning after the holiday weekend) and expressed holiday wishes. The resolution took effect upon adoption; administrative details about coverage, essential services or on‑call staff were not specified in the meeting transcript and will be handled by county administration.
