Solicitor's office asks for intake and records staff, Axon evidence storage upgrade and two drug-team attorneys
Summary
Solicitor's office requested two administrative positions for records, an intake specialist to interface with the jail case-management system and two additional drug-team attorneys with administrative support to reduce per-attorney warrants; the office noted Axon/evidence.com storage grants and a pending storage grant application.
Representatives of the solicitor's office outlined budget requests to improve case processing and reduce prosecutorial workloads.
A solicitor's office presenter described two administrative positions for records (an intake person to interface with the jail and an ending records person to manage evidence.com and OnBase scanning) and said the change would speed case-handling and reduce temporary scanning hires. The presenter explained Axon/evidence.com storage is currently supported by grants and said an Axon Justice grant application could provide unlimited storage.
The solicitor (speaker 8) outlined prosecution workload pressures—"our county prosecutes about 10,000 warrants a year," he said—and requested two additional drug-team attorneys and supporting admins to lower per-attorney warrants toward a more manageable caseload. Committee members thanked the office and discussed the limits imposed by court schedules and trial-term availability; no hiring decisions were finalized at the meeting.
