FACTS AND FINDINGS:
Chapter V, Section 24 (7), of the 1996 Salem Charter, authorizes the City Council, upon recommendation of the municipal judge, to appoint municipal judges pro tempore.
Salem Revised Code (SRC) 4.015(b) sets the qualifications of municipal judges pro tempore. SRC 4.202(b) provides for the term of the office for a municipal judge pro tempore. A municipal judge pro tempore shall serve a term not to exceed two years and that the length of the term shall be recommended by the municipal judge and set by City Council for the time of the appointment.
Reappointment of Sara Williams will have no budgetary impact as the hours are already included in the Municipal Court budget.
BACKGROUND:
Sara Williams is a member in good standing of the Oregon State Bar Association since May 2010.
