After closing arguments, the Court shall commit the jury to the care of a Bailiff or other officer of the Court who shall keep the jurors together and prevent communication between the jurors and others.

Upon retiring to deliberate, the jurors shall select a juror as foreperson. After the jury has retired for deliberation, if there is any disagreement among the jurors as to the testimony or if the jurors desire to be informed on any point of law arising in the cause, they shall notify the Bailiff, or the officer appointed to keep them together who shall then notify the Court. The information requested may be given, in the discretion of the Court, after consultation with the parties. [Ord. 81, amended, 1/6/2023; Ord. 63, adopted, 12/6/2019.]
