Saline County Judge Arey Limits Access to All County Offices Until April 20th

March 29, 2020 By Shelli Poole Leave a Comment

On Sunday, March 29, 2020, Saline County Judge Jeff Arey extended limited access to the Saline County Courthouse, the Courthouse Complex, and all other County Offices until April 20th, with any further action being evaluated at that time. Saline County has been limiting access to County Offices since March 18 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Judge Arey stated “[f]or the same reasons Governor Hutchinson closed schools until April 20, we are continuing our cautionary measures (limiting access) in hopes that the citizens of Saline County will conduct business by phone, email, or online. These measures will aid in preventing the virus from spreading.”

Access is limited to County Employees, Court Employees, and Elected Officials having offices in or conducting business in the respective buildings; and those individuals authorized by the respective offices to have access.

On Friday, March 27, Saline County Circuit Court 4th Division, held the first teleconference circuit court hearing in Saline County history. Judge Robert Herzfeld presided over three hearings from his home “court” via the Zoom teleconference application. The attorneys, court reporter and all the parties also participated from their homes and offices through the app, while the 4th division courtroom stood empty. This was the first of many circuit court hearings and trials that will be handled in the days and weeks ahead using innovative technologies and procedures with an eye towards maximizing the mantra of “stay home when you can” while ensuring that constitutional protections and the rule of law are firmly preserved. All of the Circuit and District judges and their staffs have been working together with the prosecutors, public defenders, private attorneys, the circuit and county clerks and many others to carry out the business of justice while ensuring the health and welfare of the public. Emergency cases–with some limited exceptions–will be handled over the Zoom app, while non-emergency cases are being generally scheduled for this summer. The judges are currently developing the particular procedures and will be making further announcements within the next several days.

Anyone with questions regarding Court proceedings should call the Circuit or District Court in which their court case is assigned or the Circuit Clerk’s Office at 501-303-5615. The Circuit Court Division contact numbers are: First Division – 501-303-5635, Second Division – 501-303-5664, Third Division – 501-303-5628, and Fourth Division –501-303-1584. All District Court proceedings will be held in the respective Divisions of District Court, Benton District Court – 501-303-5670 & Bryant District Court – 501-943-0440. Access to these courts facilities are restricted to those with essential business. Anyone entering the courthouse will be required to provide basic contact information to comply with COVID-19 tracking protocol.

If you have business in any of the County Offices, please use the below contact information. Business should be conducted digitally, by phone, email, or online, if at all possible. If not possible, persons needing to conduct business in person with county offices should contact the office to schedule a meeting appropriate to their needs. Business that is not time sensitive should be postponed until April 20, 2020, if at all possible.

PREVIOUSLY – MARCH 17, 2020

Saline County Judge Jeff Arey announced today a plan to limit access to the Saline County Courthouse, the Courthouse Complex, and other County Offices beginning Wednesday, March 18 through March 31 to limit public exposure to COVID-19.

Judge Arey stated that he is limiting access “in hopes that the citizens of Saline County will conduct business by phone, email, or online; we had hoped that a less intrusive method of placing signs at the entrances with the appropriate contact information of each office would have sufficed but Monday was even busier than usual – particularly in the Courthouse Complex at the State Revenue Office and at the county offices across and down the hall.”

The purpose of restricting the access is so that “Saline County can ensure, as best can be reasonably accomplished, the health and safety of county employees and the public served by Saline County, and to provide for continued services by Saline County to our public,” Arey said.

Access is limited to County Employees, Court Employees, and Elected Officials having offices in or conducting business in the respective buildings; and those individuals authorized by the respective offices to have access.

All emergency/mandatory Circuit Court proceedings will be held in the respective Divisions of Circuit Court. Individuals with questions regarding Circuit Court proceedings can call the Division in which their court case is assigned or the Circuit Clerk’s Office at 501-303-5615. The Circuit Court Division contact numbers are: First Division – 501-303-5635, Second Division – 501-303-5664, Third Division – 501-303-5628, and Fourth Division – 501-303-1584. All District Court proceedings will be held in the respective Divisions of District Court, Benton District Court – 501-303-5670 & Bryant District Court – 501-943-0440. Access to these courts are restricted to those with essential business.
