The original agreement with JACO is for citations issued on July 1, 2013 and beyond. All existing citations previous to that July ft agreement have been retained, maintained and administered by the City of Central Point's finance department. Lingering issues with retaining this portion of the municipal court activity has been staff time,storage and retention, and cost of annual maintenance for a database containing the old citations that is rarely utilized. After considering the efficiency of the above issues, it was determined to be in the best interest of the City of Central Point that the remaining citations be transferred to the Jackson County Justice Court. The amendment to the original agreement with JACO includes: 1)all"old"citations issued prior to the July 1, 2013 agreement;and 2)an increase from 11/2% 34%of the interest collected on these citations. Attached to this staff report: 1. Resolution prepared by staff for Council consideration 2. Amendment No.1 prepared by Jackson County counsel Recommended Action: That Council approves the amendment to the municipal court agreement with Jackson County Justice Court and adopt the attached resolution authorizing signing of amendment.
