Comments:
The basement was really crowed so there was no way to access them to find out
what type of records and how many there were.
P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7, P8
basement
storage contained inactive records for all offices except pros. att. the
basement storage was a wreck. you could only take a few steps into the room
before you were stopped by records that have fallen out of broken boxes.
christmas decorations were stored in here also. old paper records that appeared
to be old court records were LYING around all over the room. some records were
on shelves others were in piles in the floor. some of the piles were stacked to
the ceiling. no order in record storage. the records in this room will soon be
destroyed due to irresponcible record keeping. i can not tell how anyone would
be able to do any records inventory in this room.
assessor
complained that the office was over the heating system and the office was
really hot during cold months.the office was really small.no room for records
or people.
circuit
clerk needs storage bad. the office is out of room. the room was really small.
the county
clerk had a water leak in record storage area. they are in need of space.
the
court house was so small i passed it up thinking it was an old church. they are
in need of space.
the
pros. att. and sheriff offices were located in a annex behind the court house.
the juvenile non standard cases are stored offsite but no information as to
where this might be. pros. att. is out of space. some records are being stored
in a closet in the court house.
