RESOLUTION NO. 13-16

A RESOLUTION APPOINTING CARE` McINNIS AS MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE

RECITALS:

The City of Grand Junction has by Charter and Ordinance established a Municipal Court. The Charter provides that the City Council shall appoint a Judge of the Municipal Court and the Grand Junction Municipal Code (GJMC) presently adopts by reference Title 13, Article 10 of the Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S). Section 13-10-105(1)(a) C.R.S. provides that unless otherwise provided in the Charter (which it is not in Grand Junction) the Council appoints the municipal judge for a “specified term of not less than two years and who may be reappointed for a subsequent term …”.

Judge McInnis has been the presiding Municipal Court Judge since 2006 and the City Council has determined that it is appropriate to re-appoint her. By and with this Resolution, Care’ McInnis is appointed as the Municipal Court Judge in and for the Grand Junction Municipal Court.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT:

The Honorable Care’ McInnis is re-appointed as Municipal Court Judge in and for the Grand Junction Municipal Court, with all rights, obligations and privileges that pertain for a term of four (4) years beginning the date hereof and continuing until the expiration of the term, subject to her full and faithful performance as provided by law or ordinance.

PASSED and ADOPTED this 20^th day of April, 2016.
