Judges embrace new tech as courthouse conversion begins
In a recent government meeting, officials reported significant progress in the implementation of the new Tyler system for court operations. Judges are currently undergoing training, with positive feedback highlighting the effectiveness of the trainers and the willingness of judges to adapt, even those less familiar with technology. The system is set to go live on November 23rd, following a successful testing phase.

Additionally, plans for an open house at the courthouse are in the works, tentatively scheduled for the first two weeks of November, aimed at engaging the community and providing information about the new system.

The circuit clerk's office also presented its monthly report, noting a decline in collections. The office is preparing for an upcoming audit, with an outside auditor expected to finalize financial reports next week. To facilitate a smooth transition to the new system, credit card payments will cease on November 17th, and electronic filing will be temporarily halted on November 19th, requiring all court submissions to be made on paper starting November 20th.

Overall, the meeting underscored the ongoing efforts to modernize court operations while ensuring financial accountability and community involvement.
