MEMORANDUM
May 14, 2014
TO: Shana K. Yelverton, City Manager
FROM: Stacey Black, Director of Human Resources
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 1094, 1st Reading, Appointing the Judge of the Municipal
Court of Record and authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement
with the Municipal Judge.
Action
Requested: City Council approval of Ordinance No. 1094, 1st Reading, Appointing
the Judge of the Municipal Court of Record and authorizing the Mayor
to execute an agreement with the Municipal Judge.
Background
Information: Chapter 5 of the Southlake City Charter states that "The City Council
shall by ordinance appoint one or more judges of the Municipal Court."
The Charter also stipulates the qualifications and conditions of the
position, which include:
• the individual must be a licensed attorney in good standing;
• the individual must be licensed to practice in the State of Texas;
• the individual must have two or more years of experience in
practicing law in Texas; and
• that the judge shall serve a two-year term.
The Judge is primarily responsible for presiding over all municipal court
proceedings and performing magistrate duties.
The current Judge of the Municipal Court is Carol Montgomery. Judge
Montgomery has served as the City's Municipal Court Judge since July
17, 2001 and has been reappointed by the City Council six times over
the last twelve years, most recently on July 7, 2012 with Ordinance No.
1037. City Council conducted an annual review of her performance,
compensation and essential functions at the October 1, 2013 City
Council meeting and adjusted her compensation to an annual salary of
$64,775 to align with the Council's adopted employee compensation
philosophy. Her current term expires on July 7, 2014, thus creating a
need for City Council to appoint a Judge of the Municipal Court.

ITEM 4E
Judge Montgomery is seeking re -appointment and is not requesting
any adjustment to her compensation or benefits. Judge Montgomery
currently satisfies all of the qualifications and conditions of the Charter.
Ordinance No. 1094, included in your packet, authorizes the
appointment of Carol Montgomery as Municipal Court Judge for the
City of Southlake through July 7, 2016. It also authorizes the Mayor,
with City Council approval, to execute an agreement to establish the
compensation, benefits and essential functions of the Municipal Court
Judge. This allows the agreement to be taken to City Council for
approval as a separate agenda item and allows City Council to adopt
any changes to the agreement during the two year term without
requiring a new ordinance.
If the Ordinance passes on the first reading, a second reading will be
scheduled for June 3, 2014. The agreement to establish
compensation, benefits and essential functions will be placed as a
separate item on the June 3, 2014 City Council agenda for approval.
Financial
Considerations: Annual compensation for the Judge is currently $64,775 (gross bi-
weekly salary of $2,491.35) and no increase is requested with this
item. As such, there is no negative financial impact.
Strategic Link: Performance Management and Service Delivery: Collaborate with
select business partners to implement service solutions.
Citizen Input/
Board Review: N/A
Legal Review: The ordinance was reviewed by the City Attorney's Office.
Alternatives: Judge Montgomery is seeking reappointment. Council may reappoint
Judge Montgomery or seek other applicants as desired. Council may
approve or modify the attached ordinance and agreement.
