Background and Discussion:
Continuation of the juror payment system to provide an electronic payment medium for those Harris County jurors whom wish to use this type of service thereby addressing the following business requirements. System is working well, for both departments (District Clerk’s Office and County Treasurer).
Expected Impact:
Not having jurors wait as long for payment will have a positive impact on the Community.
Alternative Options:
The County Treasurer would send out hard checks to jurors and having them wait. Overall more costly.
County Strategic Plan Goal: 1. Make Harris County safer and more just.
