Summary

Staff reported 5,406 matters handled this year and 5,173 warrants issued; the office attributed lower in-person bookings to a change in citation/booking practices and announced weekend 24-hour satellite office staffing beginning this weekend.

Corey presented a quarterly report for the judicial commissioner's office showing the office handled 5,406 matters during the reporting period and issued 5,173 warrants. He said the difference includes other orders and roughly 115 OOPs processed during the year.

Corey told commissioners the office's busiest period runs roughly 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. and that recent changes in citation and booking practices at Mount Jude and Lebanon have reduced on-site bookings. He cited Mount Jude as issuing 1,135 citations with 730 booked at the jail and said the sheriff's office reported 800 booked in a comparable period; Lebanon began a similar practice on Sept. 1 and had 75 booked.

To improve service access, Corey said the office will staff the county satellite office 24 hours on Saturday and Sunday starting the upcoming weekend. He said the Saturday morning pilot over the prior six weeks had shown operational benefits and that staff had workstations at the satellite location and the main office to handle overflow.

The presentation was informational; commissioners did not take a separate vote on the operational hours change in the transcript, but staff announced the new weekend staffing plan.
