Council adopted two ordinances appointing Alan Bowling as municipal court judge and reappointing Wendy Cooper as associate judge, approving compensation set at $1,250 per month plus $50 per day for magistrate services.

The Benbrook City Council adopted ordinances to appoint and confirm municipal court judicial positions during its April 16 meeting.
