RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE PASSAGE OF
H.B. 314 REGARDING THE ALLOCATION
OF MUNICIPAL COURT OPERATING COSTS,
AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY
'" WHEREAS , the City of Dublin currently pays a proportionate share of the
operating cost for the Franklin County Municipal Court; and
WHEREAS, the proportionate share currently may not exceed that which is
disbursed by the clerk in costs, fees, fines, bailor other monies; and
WHEREAS , the House Judiciary and Criminal Justice Committee are currently
proposing to change the formula for allocating the costs of operating the
Municipal Court among the cities and villages within the Courts
Jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS , one of the significant changes H,B, 314 introduces is to
eliminate the "cap" on the amount that a participating municipality must
pay: Le, the amount the Municipality actually gets back from the
Municipal Court in fines, fees, forfeitures, etc,; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor for the City of Dublin has already expressed concern to
the Ohio Municipal League about said House Bill passing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Dublin, State
of Ohio, of the elected members concurring:
SECTION l. THAT THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN OPPOSES H.B. 314
BECAUSE THE LEGISLATION:
1. Makes government less accessible to the public;
2, Would substantially increase legal costs;
3, Changes the formula for allocating the costs of operating a
municipal court;
4, Allows the "cap" to be removed, thereby requiring cities and
villages to pay an unfair share of operating costs, because
residents already pay the costs through existing taxes,
SECTION 2. That a copy of the Resolution be sent to the Speaker of the
House Vern Riffe; Senator Ted Gray and State Representative William
Schuck,
SECTION 3. That due to pending consideration of this bill, this
Resolution is hereby declared to be an emergency measure necessary for the
preservation of the public peace, health and safety and therefore this
Resolution shall take effect and be in force immediately upon its passage,
Passed this /7 ti.- day of r1~c , 1991.
