PORT ANGELES — Most Clallam County Courthouse offices will be closed Monday for the 12th of 16 furlough days the county implemented this year.
The only exceptions to the closure are the courts and the jail.
Offices on the main floor of the Clallam County Courthouse at 223 E. Fourth St. in Port Angeles will be closed.
The public can conduct court business by entering the south doors and proceeding upstairs.
Sheriff’s deputies will be on regular patrols, but the sheriff’s administrative office will be closed.
The county implemented the unpaid leave days to help balance the budget.
All of the furlough days are Mondays.
The remaining furlough dates are Oct. 8, Nov. 19, Dec. 24 and Dec. 31.
The back-to-back furlough Mondays prompted county Auditor Patty Rosand to encourage the public to purchase their licence tabs and register to vote online.
“Expect long lines in licensing on Tuesday if you choose to come into the Auditor’s Office,” Rosand said.
“You can buy your license tabs online at www.dol.wa.gov, and we will mail them to you the next business day, or you can pick them up in our office.
“Voter registration can be done online at www.clallam.net/elections.”
The last day to register to vote by mail is Saturday. The last day to register online is Oct. 8.
Meanwhile, the three commissioners Tuesday will consider a resolution designating 16 furlough days for 2013. The proposed furlough dates, all Mondays, are Jan. 14, Jan. 28, March 11, March 25, April 1, April 8, June 24, July 1, July 15, July 22, Aug. 26, Sept. 16, Sept. 23, Nov. 18, Dec. 23 and Dec. 30.
