Court discusses courthouse security lines after three security positions were cut; staff to explore options
Summary
Commissioners discussed courthouse security and a lost magnetometer lane after three full‑time security personnel positions were eliminated; staff will explore options including adjusting schedules or contracting security for heavy jury days.
Judge (Chair) (Speaker 1) raised the impact of removing three courthouse security positions during the earlier budget workshop and noted that one magnetometer lane remains closed, contributing to long lines on heavy jury days.
County staff (Mr. Kim, Speaker 9) said the security positions exist in a different fund and recommended against moving general‑fund dollars to a special fund. Staff outlined options including contracting outside security for Monday juror days or adjusting current security schedules to cover heavy days.
The judge asked staff to take the discussion offline and return with recommendations about using flex scheduling or alternate funding approaches. Commissioners did not take a vote on converting detention funding to security roles and left the issue for further staff review.
