Board reviews proposed $76 municipal court expungement fee; language to be refined
Summary
Staff presented Ordinance 25-34 to establish a municipal-court expungement fee (proposed $76, described as $75 plus state fees that moved from $1 to $2); MTAS comments and clerical verbiage changes were noted and the item will be refined before first reading.
The board reviewed Ordinance 25-34, which would amend Nolensville Municipal Code to permit a fee for municipal court record expungement and to amend fees for electronic citations. Staff explained the proposed expungement fee was calculated as $75 plus state fees that have been adjusted (staff cited a $1 fee changing to $2 in state charges), resulting in a $76 total in the draft.
A commissioner asked how the proposed $76 compares to other municipalities; a staff member noted MTAS (Municipal Technical Advisory Service) had provided comments and that some municipalities charge up to $100 for similar services. Staff said they will refine the language and include background materials and comparative research before the ordinance’s first reading. The item will not be placed on consent because verbiage and fee references will be updated.
No final fee or ordinance text was adopted at the Nov. 17 work session; staff will return with revised language informed by MTAS comments and clerical corrections.
