County manager says courthouse reopening targeted for June 15 with safety measures
Summary
County Manager/County Attorney Curtis Potter told commissioners the courthouse team is meeting weekly and targets a June 15 reopening; he said staff plan Plexiglas installations in offices and reported no complaints about court operations last week.
County Manager and County Attorney Curtis Potter updated the Washington County Board of Commissioners on June 11 that the courthouse team is meeting weekly and that officials are targeting a June 15 reopening.
Potter said preparations include installing Plexiglas in some offices to reduce disease transmission risk. Commissioner Walker asked about the preparations and Potter confirmed the Plexiglas installations; Commissioner Sexton asked about how court had gone the prior week and Potter said he had heard no complaints. Chair D. Cole Phelps reported Facebook viewers noted muffled audio during the meeting and staff member Ms. Fikes helped troubleshoot the sound issues.
Why it matters: Reopening the courthouse affects access to court services for residents and staff and requires operational measures to reduce COVID-19 transmission risk.
The Board set the broader budget work session to continue on June 15 and left personnel and compensation items to Closed Session.
