City Manager Elliott summarized options after Butler County's consolidation of Area 1 court; he recommended creating a mayor's court with an appointed magistrate to handle local misdemeanor, traffic and ordinance cases, estimating the court would meet twice monthly and require a magistrate, clerk and prosecutor positions. Council members asked about staffing, the need for updated study (last done 2019), and interim benchmarks for deciding whether to proceed.
