DISCUSSION
During the 1995 regular legislative session the Texas Legislature adopted an amendment to Article 102.017
of the Code of Criminal Procedure that allows the governing body of a municipality to create by ordinance
a Municipal Court Building Security Fund Defendants convicted in trial for a misdemeanor offense in
municipal court are required to pay a $3 00 security fee as a cost of the court. On October 10 1995 City
Council approved Ordinance No 12204 to create the Municipal Court Building Security Fund
Security fees collected may only be used for purposes of providing security services for buildings housing a
municipal court. This may include the purchase of parcel X-ray machines, hand-held and walk-through
metal detectors security personnel providing security services and continuing education on security-related
issues for court and security personnel
On June 20 2000 (M&C G-12942) the City Council authorized implementation of the Municipal Court
Building Security Enhancement Plan The plan authorized a Senior Deputy City Marshal and eight Deputy
City Marshal positions dedicated to building security functions. The FY2004-2005 adopted budget for
building security operations is $510 511 00 Reimbursement to the General Fund for the costs incurred for
the authorized positions and related costs is handled through an annual appropriation and transfer of funds
from the Security Fund
Security demands have necessitated assigning six additional Deputy City Marshals to supplement during
the current year building security operations. The appropriation and transfer of funds requested through
this M&C reimburses the General Fund for the additional security costs incurred during this fiscal year
