Maple Bluff approves municipal court fee increase to align with state law
Summary
Trustees updated the municipal court fee schedule to reflect Wisconsin Act 113 (a $10 increase), raising the fee to $48; Municipal Judge Walt and supporter George Wells described courtroom operations and default procedures.
The Village Board approved a change to the municipal court fee schedule to reflect Wisconsin Act 113, which increased the maximum court cost by $10. The new fee will be $48 after the ordinance amendment process.
George Wells and Municipal Judge Walt spoke briefly about the court’s recent caseload, noting many defendants do not appear in person and that default judgments are issued in those cases. Judge Walt encouraged residents who believe a citation was issued unfairly to appear and make their case in court.
The board approved the fee update and the ordinance amendments required to implement the higher court cost.
