|
| Information |
| SUBJECT: |
| Appointment of Judge Pro Tempore for the Oro Valley Magistrate Court |
| RECOMMENDATION: |
| The Town Magistrate, Hon. George Dunscomb, recommends the Hon. Laine Sklar be appointed as judge pro tempore of the Oro Valley Magistrate Court. |
| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: |
| All courts have a list of attorneys or other judges to sit in the court and hear cases when a judge has a conflict or is unavailable to preside. |
| BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: |
| For many years, the judges of Oro Valley Court and Sahuarita Court have been pro-tems in each other's courts, which has allowed us to have another judge to whom we could send conflict cases, saving us the cost of bringing in one of our attorney judges pro tempore. We had a similar agreement with the Marana Court, but it ended when Marana appointed a new judge. Judge Sklar was appointed about a year ago, and the co-operation between Sahuarita, Marana and Oro Valley has increased significantly. It will be particularly helpful for covering each other at the Warrant Resolution Courts. |
| FISCAL IMPACT: |
| The Court has a designated line item in the budget to cover pro tem judges, and we only call one at a time. |
| SUGGESTED MOTION: |
| I MOVE to appoint Hon. Laine Sklar as Judge Pro Tempore for the Oro Valley Magistrate Court. |
