County establishes Court Reform Grant Fund to buy portable FTR courtroom equipment
Summary
The board established FCO 2025-01 to receive a grant for FTR recording equipment; officials say portable equipment will let them conduct hearings in alternate rooms and improve courtroom recording capabilities.
Judge Carrie Stiller and IT Director Gary Bierman presented FCO 2025-01 to establish a Court Reform Grant Fund that will hold grant proceeds for procurement of FTR (for-the-record) recording equipment for county courtrooms. "Gary Bierman identified a grant for the FTR, recording equipment for the courtrooms," Judge Stiller said, noting the portable FTR will allow hearings in other rooms.
Commissioners approved the fund by unanimous consent so the county can accept and track the grant funds separately from other budgets. County staff described the equipment as portable FTR units intended to increase flexibility for hearings and recording demonstrations.
