City approves Lakeview district court agreement to share courtroom and clerk costs
Summary
Council authorized an agreement allowing Lakeview to hold court in Helena-West Helena and to reimburse a portion of the deputy clerk's salary for county-docket work; the arrangement mirrors an existing agreement with Elaine.
The Helena West Helena City Council voted July 15 to approve an intergovernmental agreement allowing Lakeview to use the city—ourtroom for district court dockets and to reimburse a portion of the deputy clerk ssigned to the county docket.
The city attorney said the proposed agreement is substantially identical to a prior agreement with Elaine: Lakeview will reimburse the city for a share of the court clerk—ompensation on a reimbursement basis because Lakeview has a small docket.
Councilmember Kyle Miller moved to adopt the agreement and Councilmember Maxine Miller seconded. The motion passed on a roll call vote.
City attorneys said the arrangement is a small cost-saving measure that shares clerk costs while allowing neighboring court business to be heard in Helena-West Helena's courtroom.
