sCaba. rrus County ' heqff's Department Robert M. Canaday, Sheriff October 2, 1985 TO: Cabar~s County Board of Co~r~tssioners THRU: H~. Charles HcGinnis, County l~anager FROH: Robert H. ~naday, Sheriff Hr. McGinnis: T~o weeks ago the Clerk of Superior Court, Hr. Estus l~ite, informed me that effective October 1, 1985, his deputy clerks who work in the courtroom would no longer accept payment of fines and costs in the courtroom. I would have to furnish a bailiff to shuttle defendants from the District Court do~nstairs to the Clerk's Office ~he~e they ~ould pay fines. I advised ~. ~lte that this ~ould requi~e me to have t~o bailiffs in the courtroo~-instead of one. I tried to avert this situation by meeting ~th Hr. ~ite ~d Chief District Court Judge, Robert L. ~arren. Judge ~arren advised me that he had never liked the practice of the clerk accept~g money in the courtroom and was in full agreement ~th the Clerk's change of procedure. Judge ~arren advised ~hat two bailiffs would be required after October 1, 1985. Further meetings ~re held ~th the Clerk and Judge and further procedures ~ere worked out in consultation ~th our department. (Copy Attached) ~e addition of a second bailiff forced me to r~ove one patrol officer from a patrol squad and assign h~ to bailiff duty fullt~e in that ~e have District Criminal Court four days each ~eek. (~ree days in Concord and one day iu Kannapolts.) I explored all possible sections in ~. department for a man to assign to pemnent bailiff duties and could not find an available mn for this assistant ~4thout robbing one from pat~ol. Based on the foregoing circu~stances, I am requesting that the Board of County Comissionezs grant ~ the authority to hire one additional person to replace the ~n I have had to assign to pe~anent District Cour~ bailiff duties.
