The Daily Memphian reports that Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris has given Shelby County Clerk Wanda Halbert a deadline of Friday to choose another location for her satellite office in Poplar Plaza. If she does not, he says she could be derelict in her duty. The clerk’s lease at its Poplar Plaza office runs out at the end of June and is not being renewed. Halbert has called for more office locations as a solution to last year’s backlog in the renewal of car tags, which resulted in her office’s closure for two weeks to deal with the surfeit. However, a planned office on Riverdale Road has not yet opened, and she has not found a new location in Poplar Plaza.
