We temporarily closed our office for public meetings and appointments.
Meetings with witnesses are performed remotely so long as the witness has telephonic capabilities. If witnesses are unable to meet remotely, we implemented proper social distancing guidelines to meet in-person at specially designated times and locations.
We arranged for our Grand Jury to comply with state and local requirements for physical distancing. We also reduced the amount of days our Grand Jurors are present in the Courthouse and meet in person.
We staggered the schedules of employees so that there are fewer employees in the office at any one time. While in the office, our employees wear masks, make every effort to keep six feet apart from one another, and adhere to recommended guidelines.
The County implemented a procedure requiring individuals to take their temperature upon entry into County buildings or complete a form indicating they have self-tested immediately prior to their arrival. As a safety precaution, the County has stationed deputies at each entrance to help with taking temperatures.
Employees are advised that, if they do not feel well, they should not come to the office.
Offices are cleaned with sanitizing spray at entrances and high traffic areas. Hand sanitizer has been distributed to all employees and workstations in the office. We also implemented regular cleaning schedules for employees throughout the day.
We continue to follow state and federal guidelines to ensure we are keeping our community and employees safe.
