Clallam County Courthouse offices closed Monday

Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — Most Clallam County Courthouse offices will be closed Monday on the first of the county’s 2012 furlough days.

The only exceptions are the Superior and District courts and 24-hour operations such as the jail and juveniles services.

Since offices on the main floor of the Clallam County Courthouse at 223 E. Fourth St. in Port Angeles will be closed, the public will be able to conduct court business by entering the main doors of the courthouse off Fourth Street and proceeding upstairs.

Sheriff’s deputies will be on regular patrol, but the sheriff’s administrative office will be closed.

Clallam County instituted 16 unpaid furlough days this year to help cover a $2.7 million budget shortfall.

All of the furlough days are Mondays.

The others will be March 26, April 2, May 7, May 21, June 11, June 25, July 9, July 23, Aug. 27, Sept. 17, Oct. 1, Oct. 8, Nov. 19, Dec. 24 and Dec. 31.
