Based on public health and safety guidelines provided by the
Council of Municipal Court Judges and the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, we are implementing mandatory safety requirements for court on June
18th, 2020. We hope you understand the
following requirements are not to inconvenience you, but to ensure that everyone
can handle their judicial matter safely and efficiently.
- We have implemented a staggered scheduling system to manage
the volume of people entering and leaving the courtroom. If you do not know
your scheduled arrival time, please call us prior to the 18th to find out what
time you need to arrive at city hall.
- Please do not bring children, spouses, or other family
members to your scheduled hearing. If
you do not have childcare, we will allow for a one-time rescheduling of your
case. If you are under 21, you are
allowed to bring one (1) parent or guardian with you.
- As you approach the court entrance, you will notice several
markers on the ground positioned six (6) feet apart. Please stand on these markers while you wait
to enter the building. We will only be
allowing 24 people in the courtroom at a time.
Once in the courtroom, please do not move any of the chairs. They are
arranged six (6) feet apart to maintain proper social distancing.
- Court security will be using thermometers to ensure that
defendants with temperatures of 100.4 or greater are not allowed in the
courtroom.
- Every person entering the building will be required to wear
a mask.
- Every person entering the building will be required to use
hand sanitizer provided by the court.
- We ask if you are sick, please do not come to court. Please call our office ahead of time for a
one-time rescheduling of your case. If
you are over 65 years of age and are not comfortable coming to court, please
call our office for a courtesy reschedule.
If you have any questions concerning your court date, please
contact our court clerk Dawn Stubbs at 770-786-7004 or
