SUBJECT: <br />MUNICIPAL JUDGES <br />DATE: <br />AUGUST 28, 2017 <br />PAGE2OF2 <br />which Council may want to address. By comparison, the Prosecutor is paid $115 per <br />hour. <br />Other than the regularly scheduled court sessions, the Municipal Judge also spends <br />some time working on court administrative work and she swears in police officers and <br />elected officials. <br />Some councilmembers have asked if the City should pay the judges on a per session <br />basis rather than monthly or by the hour. That is at the discretion of the Council but <br />would likely have to align with the next appointment/contracting cycle. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />If Council decides to change how the judges are paid it could have a nominal impact on <br />the budget. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Discussion of if a second deputy judge should be appointed and if any of the pay rates <br />should be adjusted. <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />• Ordinance setting Judge's compensation <br />• Resolution setting Deputy Judge's compensation <br />• Judge's contract <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />
