RESOLUTION NO. R99-1396

A resolution appropriating sixty thousand dollars account to the Jury Pay and Jury Lunch accounts for certain operating expenses of the temporary criminal court.

Whereas, the judges of the Criminal Court have identified a need for an additional temporary criminal court to be established to assist in adjudicating pending criminal cases and to alleviate overcrowded conditions in the jails; and

Whereas, expenses in operating the temporary criminal court, including jury and witness personal costs and jury lunches, must be funded; and
