Dundee staff to explore transferring municipal-court processing to Newberg to save costs
Summary
Council members discussed exploratory talks with Newberg Municipal Court about moving citation processing and related services; they noted potential efficiency and modest cost savings but said any change would require contract details and public process.
Dundee — Council members said they recently began conversations with Newberg Municipal Court about moving Dundee’s citation processing to the larger neighboring court as a way to relieve staff workload and reduce operational cost.
A council member said the shift could allow staff to reduce some administrative burden and capture modest savings; the council discussed timing and the need for a contract with clear cost terms and a public process. No final decision was made; staff said they would follow up with Newberg and bring a proposal back to council for review before any implementation date.
What’s next: staff will meet with Newberg officials, return with a draft agreement and cost estimates, and present options to council at a future meeting.
