The Sandy Municipal Court under
direction of Karen Brisbin, Presiding Judge, processes traffic infractions
and code violations (other crimes are handled by the county court in Oregon
City). Court is held on Tuesday mornings, three times a month. The number of
citations handled by the court has increased substantially since 1985. |
| |
|
PAST GOALS |
ACCOMPLISHMENTS |
|
Substantially reduce the number of outstanding
uncollected citations. |
In 2005 the City Contracted with Valley Credit to enforce collections as
allowed by HB 2055. In 2005 the city collected $26,500 and in 2006 $24,500
in delinquent citations. Delinquencies are forwarded to Valley Credit for
collection every two months. |
| Encourage
Springbrook software to develop municipal court software. |
Purchased Full Court software from Justice Systems as Springbrook was unable
to develop suitable software. |
|
| OBJECTIVES FOR
THE NEXT BIENNIUM |
 |
Work with municipal court judge and police chief to increase municipal
minimum base fine schedule by 6 to 8% so as to provide needed revenue to
offset climbing enforcement costs. Develop method to show additional
revenue as a separate budget line item. |
| Continue to reduce
delinquent collections.
|
|
BUDGET NOTES
For ease of administration, all traffic citation revenue is allocated to the
Police Department. This revenue exceeds the cost of operating the Municipal
Court. State and County assessments reduce the amount of net fine revenue
the city keeps; beginning in 2003-05, these expenses have also been
allocated to the
Police budget. |
