Committee backs moving Wells bailiff budget to consolidated courts, asks to delay backfill

The Budget Committee voted to forward a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners to move the vacant Wells Justice Court bailiff position into the consolidated courts budget so the role can act as a roving bailiff for outlying courts. Christina of the consolidated courts explained the proposal: "Essentially we're just moving the Wells Bailiff ... and they're going to be a roving bailiff taking care of all of the outlying courts plus anything we need here."
