New Online Access to Court Records

 

Clerk of the Circuit Court Keith S. Brin launched a new Public Access System last week.  This Public Access System provides a secure way for individuals to obtain basic information on any court case in Lake County - from checking on a future court date and amounts due, to parties involved in a case.  

Through the Public Access System, people won't have to call or come in to the Circuit Clerk's office when they need basic information on a court case. Instead, users can get the information at a time that is convenient for them, and completely free of charge. This new system uses technology to extend limited resources and deliver a better and more efficient service to the taxpayers of Lake County

Experiencing The Flood:  A Presentation

 

At our May 14th Board Meeting, the Lake County Emergency Management Coordinator gave a presentation about the April 2013 Flood. It was a very interesting presentation that recapped the extent of the flooding, and detailed the response efforts of the local communities. The presentation has photos and statistics to really help tell the story of what our fellow Lake County residents experienced.

Select "PRESENTATION", the fourth item on the agenda to get to that portion of the meeting. Watch Now
