Bannock County Hosts
ISTARS Balancing Training
As reported by Suzanne Johnson, Trial Court
Administrator, Sixth Judicial District
Bannock County hosted a training for ISTARS balancing for the Sixth and Seventh
Judicial Districts because there are many brand new elected clerks, deputy auditors and deputy clerks. In attendance were the elected clerks from Bannock, Caribou, Franklin, Butte Counties along with deputy clerks from the
two districts.
We actually did a daily balancing from the prior day for Bannock County using ISTARS. There was a great discussion about what physical files are necessary, how to file citations, what to keep for a year so that the counties can consider current practices for improvement! A good time was had by all!
