Committee notified of clerical error in recent municipal-court collections ordinance; staff asked committee to reconsider
Summary
City legal reported a drafting error in an ordinance the council adopted June 11 regarding collection services for municipal-court penalties; staff asked the committee to reconsider the ordinance and re-vote so the mayor can sign it in time for the budget cycle.
City legal staff reported a drafting error in an ordinance the council approved on June 11 concerning collection services for municipal‑court penalties, costs, fines and fees when a defendant fails to appear or to satisfy a monetary obligation.
Sarah (city legal) said the word "adjudicated" appeared twice in the draft and had been struck only once, a minor drafting error discovered after the council vote. Because the mayor had not signed the ordinance, staff asked the committee to reconsider the item and to vote on a corrected ordinance so it could go into effect in time for the budget cycle.
Ending: The transcript records the staff request and an acknowledgment by committee members; no reconsideration vote is recorded in the committee transcript segment provided.
