District clerk asks commissioners for two clerks and $1,500 eCourt subscription amid rising juries
Summary
District Clerk Heather asked for two additional staff positions to handle a sustained workload that includes more juries and increasing case filings and requested a $1,500 annual subscription to an eCourtDate notification system to support jury and public notices.
District Clerk Heather told the commissioners she has requested "2 new positions" in the 2026 budget to handle increasing workloads, including a reported 6% increase in juries year-over-year and weeks with multiple juries running simultaneously. Heather said her office supports 10 judges and that "it typically takes about 8 of us on Mondays to be able just to process all of the individuals coming in and to handle them and to get them into the courts."
She also requested a countywide subscription to an eCourtDate notification system, an annual item she listed in her request at $1,500 to support electronic notices to jurors and other court notifications following a Supreme Court order to permit electronic notices.
