Yuma City Code Text Amendment: Chapter 39 Court Services Fees
end
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:
Summary Recommendation
Amend Yuma City Code Chapter 39 to separate distribution of non-state court fees between the General Fund and the Municipal Court Improvement Fund. (Municipal Court) (Del Miller)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
Amending Yuma City Code chapter 39 supports the City Council’s strategic outcome of Respected and Responsible by categorizing and distributing Court fees as described in the ordinance.
REPORT:
Court fees are designed to recover some of the costs incurred by the City and the Court for services provided to defendants. Unless otherwise specified, non-state court fees will be put into the Municipal Court Improvement Fund (MCIF) which can only be utilized by the Court exclusively for purposes of court improvement and operations.
Some of the fees in Chapter 39 were designed to recover costs that come from general funds of other departments who pay for those costs in their respective budgets. In order to ensure that the fees are distributed to the proper funding source, the Arizona Supreme Court Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) recommends that each ordinance clearly indicate those funds that are not exclusive to the Court and are not distributed to the MCIF. This ensures those other funding sources receive their proper reimbursement.
