Kansas City Municipal Court will be closed again Tuesday as problems with its computer network persist, officials said.
“Out of an abundance of caution, the City of Kansas City has temporarily closed some network access and systems while we continue to investigate and ensure there are no issues,” said Benita Jones, manager of public information from the municipal court, in a press release. “Users may experience intermittent outages and we appreciate everyone’s patience.”
Jones said a grace period is in place for anyone having difficulty making payments through the city’s systems.
The problem was spotted on Saturday morning. Hearings and trials will continue at later dates, but the court will still hold arraignments for those arrested over the weekend and hold bail review hearings for others in custody. The court’s email is also down.
Jones said the court would do everything it could, “to make sure that the needs of these people are met… (even) if we have to buy paper and then load that information into the system, or forward to the competent authorities. shaped way, just like small courts do.
Jones warned that applications filed before November 6, 2023 will not be able to make payments through the Casenet system of Missouri. Deposits can be posted at designated police stations.
