A. There is created a court enhancement fund for the purpose of funding improvements or services to be used for the enhancement of the court and training for judicial officers and court staff. All funds collected pursuant to this section shall be deposited into the court enhancement fund. Funds in the court enhancement fund shall be segregated and shall not be mingled with the general revenues of the city. Monies in the fund shall supplement, not supplant, funds provided to the municipal court through the city budget process. Interest earned on the monies in the fund shall be credited to the municipal court enhancement fund. The municipal court, through the presiding judge, shall administer the fund and may make expenditures from the fund for the purposes approved in this section.

B. All funds in the court enhancement fund shall be used for the purpose of repairing and/or improving existing buildings, providing and upgrading court security, acquiring equipment and/or for other improvements or services to be used for the enhancement of the court and training for judicial officers and court staff.

C. The court shall add to the amount of every fine levied against a person who has been convicted of a criminal offense, or who has been adjudged responsible for a civil traffic offense or participates in any court authorized diversion program, including authorized defensive driving courses, an administrative court enhancement fee, in the amount of twenty dollars ($20.00). This court enhancement fee shall not be imposed on civil parking violations. If a person has been convicted or adjudged responsible for more than one offense in the same case, the fee shall be charged separately for each offense. All funds collected pursuant to this court enhancement fee shall be deposited into the court enhancement fund and disbursed only for the purposes set forth in this section.

D. The municipal court, through the presiding judge, shall annually submit to the mayor and council a report detailing the amount of money collected and expended during the reporting period. [Ord. 23-24 § 1.]
