Report by Technology Services by Tim Perrizo – There are problems with the Family Courtroom recording system. Judge Conley requested the old phones in each courtroom be replaced, they will be replaced soon with new IP phones. Recently with the new video system in Judge Conley’s courtroom there was a massive problem with the system that included a State Prison video conference and at least three other parties appearing by telephone and cell phones. In addition, at least twice an outside system tried to dial into Oconto County at the same time. The Judges advised that the Court Reporters would like some kind of speaker system available by their work stations. Tim will look into the possibility for the Court Reporters.
