Background: According to Alabama General Law and Baldwin County Local Law, as recited in the attached resolution, the Baldwin County Commission has the sole authority to locate the courts and designate the office space to be utilized by the various county officers and/ or offices at all Baldwin County Commission facilities.
At the request of the Honorable Robert Wilters, District Attorney, to allow the court reporters’ office on the second floor of the Bay Minette Courthouse, currently assigned to the Honorable Scott Taylor, Presiding Circuit Judge, to be used by the Baldwin County District Attorney’s Office, as a witness holding room for child victims, staff is proposing the Commission to adopt the attached resolution which changes the space allocation as requested.
