Federal Wav Revised Code (FWRC): Court Budqet
City Attorney Richardson stated she was following up from the June 20, Special Meeting
where the Council directed staff to report back how other jurisdictions address this issue.
She reported there was not set practice. The Cities of Spokane, Pullman Oak Harbor and
Port Orchard have the Departments present the budget. While the cities of Everett,
Burlington and Kent have Departments on hand to answer questions. Ms. Richardson
reviewed the proposed language to be added to the FWRC.
Council consensus was to add the following language to the FWRC: As part of any
budgetary presentation, the Presiding Judge and/or designee will provide the Mayor and/or
designee a suggested budget for the court as part of the budgeting process. The Mayor
and/or designee will consider the courts suggested budget as part of the Mayor's budget
recommendation to the City Council.
