District Court furloughed on Monday

Friday Oct 09 2009 4:54 PM

Pierce County District Court will implement a furlough for court employees on Monday, Oct. 12.

It's the first of three furlough days in response to budget cuts and an agreement with AFSCME Local 120. The other furlough days are Nov. 12 and Dec. 24.

On these days, the Court will hold only in-custody arraignment hearings and will not operate for purposes of public payments, filings or other related matters. This action will involve all divisions of the Court, including Probation.

We sincerely regret this disruption in service, and highly value the importance of public access to the Court.
