SUBJECT: City Council Agenda, April 11, 1996
ITEM: 12E. Consider an ordinance amending Chapter 1, Section 1.2200,
Code of Ordinances to authorize the collection of a Teen
Court fee ($10.00). (Second Reading)
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Joanne Land/Tracie Glaeser
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: State law allows the collection of a $10.00 fee by
Municipal Court in order to help defray administrative costs connected with this program.
For individuals requesting disposition of their cases by Teen Court, staff is requesting that
a $10.00 fee be charged. The Municipal Judge may waive the $10.00 fee if after a hearing
the Court determines that there is evidence that the teen is unable to pay. There have been
no changes to the ordinance since the last reading.
