A. The municipal judge or court clerk shall cause to be prepared a preliminary jury list prior to the first day of each new court term. The preliminary jury list shall contain the names and addresses of individuals selected at random from the most recent voting list of the city, or any other pool of names relating to the city that represents a fair cross section of the community.

B. The number of names placed on the preliminary jury list shall be sufficient to meet the projected need for jurors in the municipal court for one term, but the total number shall not be less than one-half percent of the population of the city according to the latest decennial census.

C. If the preliminary jury list becomes exhausted or in the opinion of the presiding judge is likely to become exhausted, the presiding judge may order the court clerk to select at random an additional number of names from the source lists described in subsection A of this section. A person whose name is so selected shall be summoned or notified to serve as a juror as provided in this section and BC 2.04.019. [BC 2.04.018, amended by Ordinance No. 3517, 6/10/86]
