Mr Cates presented the item. Recent changes in State Law have increased the authority of
municipal courts to assess maximum fines of $500. Language for some offenses has also been
modified. Ordinance #696 separates offenses according to their severity and assesses the

effect under State Law, an emergency clause has been added so that the City may begin
collecting the new fines immediately upon publication of the ordinance. Mr Helm moved,
seconded by Mr Williams, to approve Ordinance #696.
