<br /> I'
<br /> il at the joint EWEB-Counci1 meeting about a month ago that an important topic of discussion
<br /> II had been EWEB subscription to an urban servi ce boundary po1i cy. At that time, three
<br /> "

<br /> II City Manager said he and the Mayor had discussed this policy with Byron Price and

<br /> :1
<br />"!I such as other members of EWEB and Commissioners, to meet with the Council at its next
<br /> II Wednesday Committee of the Whole meeting to discuss this announced po1i cy and its impli...

<br /> I: the Manager to extend an invitation. affirm.

<br /> Ii
<br /> j ~ Chris Attneave commented that the Mayor and City Manager had attended an EWEB Board
<br /> II meeting which she had attended. She felt EWEB had a moral obligation to the city, but
<br /> II
<br /> II that the city had very, little hold over them. She did not 'feel they should be supplying
<br /> II water outside the city.
<br /> Ii
<br /> :1 Mayor Anderson assured her they intended .to pursue the matter, and he felt a policy
<br /> il
<br /> I' would be developed that would be more satisfactory to the city.
<br /> I
<br /> ii H. Report on Night Court - A report has been circulated to Councilmen outlining the
<br /> II recent operation of Municipal Night Court. It was deemed a success, since the delay
<br /> I,
<br /> " for trial dates has been reduced from 200 days to 30 days, and there are now only 55 I
<br /> Ii
<br /> :1 trials on the docket.
<br /> i:
<br /> ,
<br /> II As a result of this experience, recommendations have been made for future use of night
<br /> It
<br /> II court: 1) ,Change in manner of notifying prospecti ve jurors and 2) Authorization for
<br />Ii Municipal Judge to appoint,pro tem judges when he and the Assistant Judge cannot handle
<br />Ii the trial docket. A dollar 1imdt would be placed on expenditures for this purpose.

<br />I:
<br />i:
<br />I' Councilwoman Beal asked if' notification was to be by mail, and if this would be regis-
<br />il tered mail. She was concerned that people mdght mdss the notification, and be penalized. -
<br />II Manager said this was ammatter of admdnistration, and was not felt to be a prob~em. Mr.
<br />I'
<br />Ii Williams commented that the federal district court notifies by ordinary mail.
<br />Ii
<br />il -ril :answer to Mr. McDonald, Manager said pro tem judgeS are paid $20.00 for appearing and
<br />II $50.00 for an evening' s work. If it was found that addi ti ona1 funds were required,
<br />,I allocation would be requested from the Council.
<br />il
<br />II Mrs. Bea1 was concerned that appointment would be by the Muni cipa1 Judge. She felt this
<br />I,
<br />Ii should be a Council appointment, since the Municipal Judge and his assistant are appointed

<br /> I Mr. Williams did not feel qualified to select individuals for this short term employment
<br />I'
<br />I'
<br />" and felt the State Bar Association selected members who were currently eligible.
<br />i:
<br />"
<br /> ,
<br />I! Mrs. Bea1 fe1 t perhaps the Muni cipa1 Judge could s ubmd t a panel and this could be appointed I
<br />II by the Counci 1 . He could then make selections from the panel.

<br />" Mrs. Bea1 moved seconded by Mrs. Campbell that selection of pro tem judges be made by "
<br />I' ,
<br />II the Municipal ilJJudge from a panel of qualified attorneys ',approved 'by the Council.
<br />:1
<br />Ii Councilman Williams reiterated his opposition, saying-he did not feel the Council was
<br />II knowledgeable to choose part time judges without some research~ and he felt if an "
<br /> II
<br /> attorney was a member of the bar, he should be qualified to serve. ,I
