Court approves mix of justice‑court clerks and part‑time deputies after extended constable debate

Commissioners debated constables' pitches for clerks versus deputy constables at length, focusing on safety, bailiffing needs, and whether part‑time deputies can be shared between precincts. Commissioners heard from Constable Frasier and others about rising eviction and writ‑of‑possession workloads, especially in precincts facing rapid residential growth.

After several motions and amendments, the court approved JP clerk requests (4–1), later approved part‑time deputy additions and related equipment and training funding (series of votes; some motions passed 3–2, then clean‑up motions passed unanimously). Commissioners also directed staff to reflect reassignments (including Deputy Chad Fogg to precincts 1 & 4) and to finalize vehicle and equipment needs in the second draft of the budget.
