A message from Sandra Kiele:

Hello Counsel and Legal Assistants,

I am not sure if you are aware that Dave Reynolds will be officially retired on November 27, 2023.  His numerous titles are being divided between Executive Branch and Judicial Branch governments. 

Obtaining GAL strike list falls under Court Administration (Judicial Branch).  Stephanie Kraft is our new Court Administrator, and Kelline Pedersen is her Administrative Supervisor.  I will remain as the Chief Deputy Clerk in the Clerk’s office.  Our new County Clerk is Raylene King, who will start on November 28th.

Starting on November 28th, you will need to email Ms. Kraft & Ms. Pedersen your Strike List requests.  I am copying them for your assistance and information.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
