CITY OF

Council Communication
Ordinance & Resolution: Fees and Char~es for Municipal Court Administration
Meeting Date: June 2, 2009 Primary Staff Contact: Richard Appicello
Department: City Attorney's Office E-Mail: Appicelr@ashland.or.us
Secondary Dept.: Administration Secondary Contact: Tina Gray
Approval: Martha Benne Estimated Time: 30 minutes
Question:
I. Should the City Council conduct and approve First Reading of an ordinance titled, "An
Ordinance Establishing Fees and Charges for Municipal Court Administration" and move the
ordinance on to Second Reading?
2. Should the City Council approve the attached Resolution entitled "A Resolution Establishing
Fees and Charges for the Administration of the Ashland Municipal Court." said Resolution to take
effect on the effective date of the Ordinance?
Staff Recommendation:
Staffrecommends the Council receive public comment on the proposed ordinance and fee resolution
consistent with ORS 294.160. Staff further recommends Council approve First Reading of the
ordinance and move the Ordinance to Second Reading on June 16,2009.
Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution with delayed effective date consistent with the
effective date of the Ordinance. In the alternative, Staffrecommends the Council direct staff to make
changes to the Resolution and bring the Resolution back for approval on June 16,2009.
Background:
The Ashland Municipal Court currently imposes several types of fees and charges for Court actions
and services. [See attached 5-28 2008 email from Vicki Christensen]. In addition, court appointed
counsel fees are currently set by the Court at $250.00 per case up to five hours, then $50.00 per hour;
$400.00 for a bench trial and $600.00 for a jury trial. Finally, during last year's Ashland Budget
Committee meeting, the Municipal Court Judge indicated a need to establish a local court fee to set up
a payment plan (commonly known as an Installment Fee).
In general, absent state law, (i.e. statute imposing a specific fee or granting specific authority to impose
a fee), all Court fees, like all municipal court operations, are subject to City ordinances. [Ashland City
Charter: Article 15, Section I & Section 5]. The City Council may establish by Ordinance or
Resolution such fees and charges as the Council deems appropriate. However, ORS 294.160(1)
requires the City provide for an opportunity for interested persons to comment on the enactment of any
ordinance or resolution prescribing a new fee or increasing a fee. The attached ordinance and
resolution comprehensively address all local fees and charges for Administration of the Ashland
Municipal Court. [Please review the "Minimum Fine" Council Communication for explanation of
how local assessment (fees) fit in with other required state and cOl/nty assessments.]
Page 1 of3
~~.,
CITY OF
ASHLAND
The proposed Ordinance, together with the Implementing Resolution, set forth the actions or events
triggering the imposition of a local fee or charge. "Notes" in the Resolution reference the allowance in
the Ordinance for waiver or reduction of fees within the discretion of the Court. A separate document
entitled "Instructions" explains the application of the fees and charges. A comparison matrix was
prepared by Assistant City Attorney Megan Thornton to show examples of fees and charges by other
Courts. Additional ordinance provisions concerning minimum fines [that were included in a 2008
draft of this ordinance] are presented in a separate companion ordinance amending AMC Chapter 1.08.
While the Judge did not request this ordinance and resolution, the Installment Fee is included in the
proposed Resolution. [See No. (24)]. Several of the existing Court fees [see attached 5-28-08 email]
are incorporated into the Resolution to allow for public input on the fees and to clarify their
application. Some fees are simply discontinued. Several new fees are added. The Resolution also
compiles in one place other commonly used fees and charges which are required or specified in state
law. [See for example: (5 - Collection Fee), (14- Marijuana Diversion Fee), (16- Drivers License
Suspension Fee), (18 - Driving Record Fee), (25-Interest on Criminal Judgments), (33-Per Diem Jail
Reimbursement), and (3S-Subpoena Fee).]
As noted, some of the fees listed (e.g. those just above) reflect state law and are merely compiled for
convenience. As regards other fees, the City Council should carefully review the proposed Resolution,
examine the applicable Notes and Instructions and then consider and discuss whether the specified fees
and charges are desirable from a policy perspective. Reading the Notes and Instructions (and
referenced Ordinance provisions) is absolutely necessary to inform the discussion.
For example Fee 26 is a $100 fee for a Jury Trial. This fee, per Note I, is not imposed if the defendant
is found not gui1tv of the charged offense or a lesser included offense. The fee is imposed when the
defendant is found guilty. Note 4 grants to the Court the discretion to waive or reduce the fee based on
AMC 4.35.030C - which Ordinance provision calls for a written finding based on evidence, that the
defendant is indigent, cannot pay on an installment basis, and further that no fine or state or county
assessments have been imposed. [These are standards/or waiver or reduction o/state assessments].
The Instructions clarify that the Council could in fact require a deposit for ajury trial up to $60.00
pursuant to ORS 221.354(3); however no deposit is being required here, the fee is imposed only ifthe
defendant is found guilty or settles the case within 18 hours of the trial date. (This is because jurors
are compensated at $10.00 each even if the matter settles the day of trial). The Council can consider
the policy decision to not require a deposit. Council can also consider whether the allowance for
waiver or reduction is appropriate in the circumstances described. Finally, Council could decide that
as a policy matter, that the exercise of the right to jury trial is more important than any cost recovery,
and that no fee should be charged. Some jurisdictions (e.g. St. Helens - see matrix) have made this
policy choice.

Instructions for Application of Municipal Court Fees and Charges
01. Appeal Transcript Fee. In the event an appeal is filed, the Municipal Court Clerks
must prepare what is known as a transcript on appeal for transmittal to Circuit Court
(This is a compilation of certified documents filed in the case - not a verbatim
transcript). This fee is established to recover the cost of this certified copy and
transmittal service. The Ashland Municipal Court is not currently a Court of Record.
[See ORS 221.342.] Accordingly, appeals to Circuit Court are de novo, that is, the matter
is tried anew, as if nothing had happened below.[See e.g. ORS 138.057(1)(a)(f); ORS
221.359; ORS 157.010, ORS 53.090].
02. Bench Trial. No deposit is required for a bench trial which is a trial before the
Court without a jury. No fee is charged a defendant who is found not-guilty following
a bench trial on a violation or a misdemeanor. If the defendant is found guilty after
trial, the City Charter specifically authorizes recovery of the cost of the prosecution.
This fee is established to recover the cost of the time spent by the Judge, court staff, city
staff, or the City attorney. Fees for less complicated violation trials are less than
misdemeanor bench trials. Allowance is provided for reduction or waiver of the fee in
AMC 4.35.030 C. 0
03. City Attorney Diversion/Deferred Sentencing Agreement [ORS 135.881J. - ORS
135.881 expressly permits a City Attorney to divert or defer certain criminal offenses
such that there is no adjudication in the criminal justice system - no judgment and no
sentencing order. A defendant enters a plea which is held while the defendant
performs community service or some form of treatment. Successful completion of the
diversion/deferred sentence results in dismissal of the charge. Failure to comply results
in revocation and formal sentencing by the Court. This fee is established to recover the
cost of establishing and monitoring diversion/deferred sentence agreements through
the City Attorney's office and Court. For purposes of fees and charges, a conditional
discharge on motion of the city attorney under ORS 137.533 is assessed the same fees
and charges as diversion/deferred sentence.
04. Civil Compromise Costs [ORS 135.703(1) & (2)J. Certain criminal offenses may be
civilly compromised. The civil compromise statute [ORS 135.705] requires
acknowledgement of satisfaction by the victim, in writing, and payment of all costs
and expenses incurred, [including court appointed attorney fees] as a prerequisite to
exercise of the Court's discretion to dismiss the charge. This fee is established to
recover the administrative costs associated with civil compromise, including
assurances that the victim has been satisfied and not coerced.
05. Collection Fee [25%with a maximum of $250: ORS 137.118J.
Oregon statutes allow a Municipal Court to add a collection fee to a money judgment
in a criminal action. The fee is dictated by state statute and may not exceed 25% of the
Page 1 of 7
monetary obligation. and shall not in any case exceed $250.00. The fee shall be waived
if the defendant pays as agreed - i.e. the defendant pays in accordance with payment
schedule arranged by the Court. If the Court show causes the defendant for failure to
pay [e.g. ORS 161.685] for a violation or a crime, and the defendant has not paid as
agreed, then the fee is not waived. Additional charges may also be imposed when
cases are assigned to a collection agency.
06. Compliance Inspection Fee. This fee is imposed on violations when an inspection
by police or court staff is required to dismiss the ticket. This is the final step in a "fix
it" ticket. The Court staff physically inspects to make sure the problem is corrected.
07. Court Appointed Counsel Application Fee. As with County Courts, this fee is
imposed to recover the cost of verification of information submitted on the Financial
Statement as part of applications for court-appointed counsel. In crimina] cases,
qualification for court-appointed counsel is governed by ORS 135.050(1) and requires a
written and verified financial statement. If the Court, in accordance with general law,
imposes the obligation to repay attorney fees and costs, this fee is part of the costs. If
the Court waives or reduces repayment of attorney fees, this fee is also waived.
08. Court-Appointed Attorney Fees and Charges. State law prohibits paying court
appointed counsel less than thirty dollars ($30.00) per hour .ORS 135.055. The rate for
court appointed counsel appointed after the effective date of the fee resolution shall be
fifty dollars ($50.00) per hour with a cap of $300.00 when there is no trial. The cap is
increased to four hundred dollars ($400.00) when there is a bench tria] and six hundred
dollars ($600.00) when there is a jury trial. The rate is per defendant, including all
associated cases; however each case that requires a bench tria] or jury tria] is subject to
an additional one hundred dollar s($100.00) or three hundred dollars ($300.00) per
case, over the $300 no-tria] cap, respectively. Court appointed counsel fees and costs
may only be imposed, reduced or waived by the Court when supported by findings
and evidence in the record, in accordance with requirements of state law.
09. Court Costs. This is the standard Court fee imposed for administrative costs
associated with resolution of any misdemeanors or violation. The fee is charged when
the Court finds a defendant guilty after a trial, accepts a guilty plea, accepts a "no
contest" plea, or takes a default based upon an alleged violation of a state law or city
ordinance. There are different fees for violations and crimes. There is an allowance for
the Judge to waive court costs for additional cases/counts resolved on the same day as
the first case, provided the first case is fully charged and is as serious as subsequent
cases. AMC 4.35.030.0. This fee is incorporated into the bail schedule and is therefore
paid in all cases where the ticket is uncontested.
Page 2 of 7
10. Court Security & Training Fee. The fee is charged when the Court finds a
defendant guilty after a trial, accepts a guilty plea, accepts a "no contest" plea, or takes
a default based upon an alleged violation of a state law or city ordinance. This fee is
incorporated into the bail schedule and is charged in every criminal action. This fee is
imposed for training or court and enforcement staff and for court room security
associated with resolution of any misdemeanor or violation offense.. The fee may be
waived for additional cases/counts resolved on the same day per AMC 4.35.030.D.
11. Default Judgment. The Court may take a default judgment on a non-criminal
violation if the defendant fails to appear at first appearance [ORS 153.102(1)]. The
default fee applies also when the City Attorney reduces a crime to a violation and
when the Court, with the consent of the City Attorney, reduces a charge to a violation
upon a failure to appear. [See. ORS 161.566 & ORS 161.568] However, State, County
and City misdemeanor assessments remain applicable. The Court shall take a default
judgment when the defendant fails to appear for trial or subsequent to first appearance
in a violation proceeding. [ORS 153.102(2)]. Defendants may request relief from a
default judgment by filing a motion pursuant to ORS 153.105
12. Discovery. Discovery fee is charged for police records associated with an ongoing
criminal case whether or not the defendant is represented by legal counsel. The fee is
$12.00. Pursuant to Oregon law to protect victims of crimes, certain victim and witness
information must be redacted [ORS 135.815]. Other requests for public records are
addressed pursuant to Resolution 2007-44
13. Diversion of non-criminal Violation by Municipal Court.
The Judge may divert non-criminal violations, unless prohibited by statute or
ordinance. However, the Court's authority to reduce fines for violations is strictly
limited by statute. Whether the violation is a Class A, B, C, D, or unclassified violation
the Court, "notwithstanding any other provision of law, may not defer, waive,
suspend or otherwise reduce the fine for a violation to an amount that is less than 75%
of the base fine amount." [ORS 153.093(1)] Reductions of specific fine violations are
also limited. Accordingly, even if the Court attempts to keep a violation off a
defendant's record by diverting it, the reduction in the fine is limited by state statute.
Base Fines are calculated using the formula in state law and City Ordinance and the
fines differ based upon the classification of the offense. Essentially the base fine is one
half the maximum fine with all assessments, including state, county and city
assessments. The violation diversion fees set forth on the table below represent the
base fine (including City Court Cost and Court Security fee), plus a uniform $25.00
diversion fee: .
Page 3 of 7
State Base Class of Offense Diverted City Base with Div Fee Minimum
$427 Court Diversion: Class A Violation $447.00 $472.00 $354.00
$242 Court Diversion: Class B Violation $262.00 $287.00 $215.25
$242 Court Diversion: Unclass - Violation $262.00 $287.00 $215.25
$145 Court Diversion: Class C Violation $165.00 $190.00 $142.50
$97 Court Diversion: Class D Violation $117.00 $142.00 $106.50
varies Court Diversion: Specific Fine Base BF+ $25.00 x .75
The Municipal Court has no legal authority to divert misdemeanor offenses. [ORS
135.881 grants diversion authority to City Attorney]. [Municipal Court may not
approve a conditional discharge of a misdemeanor crime without approval of the City
Attorney under ORS 137.533.] [ORS 135.755 limits the Court's authority to dismiss a
criminal case. See State v. Stough, 148 Ore. App. 353 (1997)(Court's dismissal authority
under ORS 137.755 reserved for "severe" situations)].
14. Diversion - Marijuana Less than an Ounce. The Oregon Legislature has
established a specific procedure for marijuana possession less than an ounce, diversion
in ORS 135.907 ORS 135.921. The specified fee is the required fee a defendant must
pay to file a petition for a marijuana diversion pursuant to ORS 135.921. An additional
evaluation fee of $90.00 must be paid to the agency providing the required diagnostic
assessment. The filing fee may be paid on an installment basis and the judge may
waive all or part of the filing fee in cases of an indigent defendant.. [ORS 135.909]
Without this statutory marijuana diversion process, the minimum fine and
assessments under state statute for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana
would be $603.00 ($500 min fine, $37 state unitary assessment and $66 county
assessment). City assessments would add $20.00.
15. Domestic Partnership Registration. The City of Ashland has a register for
domestic partners that predates the Oregon State Statute providing for County
Registration.
16. Drivers License Suspension. This fee is specifically identified in ORS 809.267 to be
imposed whenever the Court suspends or restricts the driving privileges of a
defendant for failure to comply with a court order or any conditions imposed by the
court or failure to pay a fine or for failure to appear as required by ORS 153.061.
17. Drivers License Reinstatement after Suspension. This is the fee paid for

following complete satisfaction of the monetary obligations of the defendant or other
conditions which caused the suspension.
