Blaine County restricts courthouse access, asks for calls for appointments

Blaine County Commission announced Friday that the courthouse remains open but the doors will be locked except for the west handicap-accessible door and people will need to call to arrange an appointment and access to do business.

In the foyer of the sheriff's dispatch area, a desk and phone number list will be available for people to use to call a department to conduct business, a release said. If people don't have a telephone with them, dispatchers will be able to help them contact the proper department.

Any documents requested will be delivered in an envelope.

People are asked to conduct business with the county government online, by telephone or via fax as much as possible.
