Summary

The clerk reported minor supply adjustments after acquiring a new copier and said the county is reimbursed about 90% for jury services, with roughly $5,000 in mailing costs remaining a county expense.

At the 10:30 budget review, the clerk of court said there were no major changes other than adjustments tied to a new copier and its service charges; supplies were reduced back to prior levels. The clerk said some paper and fixed-cost transfers were made from a surplus to keep the operating budget stable.

On jury services, the clerk explained that approximately 90% of costs are reimbursed by the state trial system but that mailing expenses for annual jury questionnaires — about $5,000 — are not reimbursed and must be borne by the county. Reviewers said they will finalize totals once wage and benefits figures are added to the ledger.
