County court fines and upgrades prompt funding request
Sheriff and Clerk of Court report fines and bond estreatments totaled about 220000 in seven months.

A 911 redesign status report and a meeting with postmasters aim to fix box address location issues and boost donations to the addressing program. An 8275 renovation at Vaniteville magistrate’s office would create a permanent central court location.
