Jury trials and tax collector amnesty
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Yes.
right. So uh two quick updates. Um Uh Commissioner Starkey had mentioned about jury trials. They are resuming coming up. Um first trials will be back on on Monday, November 2nd. Um it will be limited seating for social distancing and the court is focusing on the cases where um criminal cases where defendants are in custody to have manage those first and then they'll move on through there. Um the other thing I wanted to mention, I sent an email yesterday about um our Operation Greenlight. It's
going to be occurring over three days in November. The date is November 18th, 19th, and 20th. We're going to open up our phone lines early and to stay late during those days. So from the phone, you can call between 7:30 and 6:30. And then during the workday, it is from 8:30 till 5 p.m. And we're here to help those customers that have suspended drivers. Licenses because of past due criminal court ordered financial obligations or traffic
tickets, and during those three days they can save up to 25% in additional fees. And once they pay the the fees or the entry into a payment plan, they are then eligible to um go to the tax collector's office to have their driver's license reinstated. So um just wanted to make sure that everybody was aware of that event and just spread the word it'll be out on our social media and we'll have flyers and so on. That's it.
