If any person summoned as grand and petit juror does not appear before the court, or if for any cause the panel of grand or petit jurors is not complete, or if no jury is drawn as provided by § 16-13-27, the court shall order the clerk of courts to summon without delay persons having the qualifications of jurors, whose names appear upon the master jury list, and if the jury list is exhausted then the clerk of courts shall request from the state court administrator's office additional names on the master list pursuant to § 16-13-9.2. The trial court shall designate the persons authorized to assist the clerk of courts in contacting those summoned. The clerk and authorized assistants shall make and file with the court a memorandum of the manner in which attempts to contact additional jurors were made, responses or lack thereof, and the name of each additional juror contacted. Each person so summoned shall forthwith appear before the court, and, if competent, shall serve on the grand or petit jury as the case may be unless excused or lawfully challenged.
