PROPOSAL PROPOSED BY: Municipal CITY MANAGER'S REVIEW
Court Advisory Committe L
Background
On December 18, 1979 (M&C G-4358 Revised-Supplement) , the City Council adopted an
ordinance amending Chapter 12 of the Code of The City of Fort Worth, Texas (1964),
as amended, relative to the Municipal Courts of the City of Fort Worth.
The supplement had been prepared by the City Attorney in response to a request from
the Municipal Court Advisory Committee that the grounds for removal of judges be made
more specific in the new ordinance. The provision in the initial draft ordinance was
consistent with the old Charter language but considered too vague in providing that
Judges could be removed by the Council "on account of their services not being
satsifactory".
Inadvertently, the ordinance published by the City Secretary was the one transmitted
with M&C G-4358 Revised which contained the wording of the initial draft ordinance.
Proposal
The City Attorney has drafted the attached resolution to correct the official Minutes,
Ordinance records and all other records maintained by the City Secretary pertaining
to the Municipal Court ordinance. The Court Advisory Committee proposes that the
City Council adopt this resolution so that the City Secretary may take the corrective
action necessary.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Resolution.
Legality
The Department of Law concur in the foregoing recommendation as the best method of
correcting the records.
Fiscal Note
Funds for publication are available in Index Code 206839, "Public Notices".
