In September 1973 the Municipal Court office had to be expanded to cover the
increase in work load derived from the filing of more traffic citations, and more
Criminal and Parking Complaints, coupled with the necessity of having to released
defendent's on promise to appear forms and/or payment of fines and costs on a
time-payment plan. At the inception of this expansion, the part-time employee was
placed into a part-time/full-time position, taking over the duties of the front
desk, docketing, indexing, filing and processing of all the traffic, criminal and
parking cases filed through the court system, as well as keeping a daily "to-pay"
record of those persons who were placed by the court on a payment plan. The clerk
typist who performed this work full-time was then shifted into the newly formed
position of processing all accident cases filed, preparing the daily morning arraign-
ment court calendar, the dail~ bail forfeiture list maintainance and the preparation
of daily P.R.'s as well as setting up a payment plan for those defendants who could
not immediately pay their fines and needed time. She was also given the responsibility
for maintaing the Not Guilty Trial Calendar and the related paper-work associated with
the calendar; preparation of trial notices, notices of resettings, trial continuances,
or motions on any hearings. This newly formed position has blossomed into a full-time
job which is very exacting and has evened out the paperwork flow and stabilized the
court office paperwork system amoung the staff. This 3rd permanent position was
requested in the 1974 MuzLicipal Court Narrative postion of the Court budget, however,
was not acted upon because of the forthcoming job description survey.
