SIDNEY The year 2020 was another busy year for the Sidney Municipal Court,” said Judgee Gary Carter. “The court continued work on new technology projects to improve services to the public and maintained essential functions during the pandemic by utilizing a new video system to reduce the number of people appearing in person for Court. The court processed 5,850 cases and continued referring probationers to community providers for treatment and counseling.”
His report continues:
The court implemented a new text message notification system developed by the Court’s software provider, CourtView. The system sends text reminders to individuals scheduled to appear for events in the courtroom and probation department. Courts around the state face a common issue of people failing to attend their court hearings and trials which causes delays as cases need to be rescheduled, sometimes multiple times.
