Judge Montgomery has served in this capacity since July, 2001. City Council discussed the appointment, employment, evaluation and duties of the Judge Carol Montgomery during Executive Session at the June 6, 2012 City Council meeting. As a result of that discussion, City Council decided to re- appoint Carol Montgomery as Southlake's Municipal Court Judge and provide her with a 5% pay increase to her annual compensation.

This structure requires City Council approve and adopt a new ordinance in order to make any compensation, benefit or other changes to the Judge's agreement. City Council has directed staff to modify the ordinance to appoint the Judge and authorize the Mayor to execute an agreement with the Judge. This would allow the agreement to be taken to City Council for approval as a separate agenda item and allow City Council to adopt any changes to the agreement in the future without requiring a new ordinance. The agreement, approved by City Council, would establish the compensation, benefits and essential functions of the Judge. In order to provide for this change, City Council must adopt a new ordinance.
