Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Michigan Court Rule 8.110(E)(3)(g) provides that the
Chief Judge has authority and responsibility to request assignments of
visiting judges and direct the assignment of matters to visiting judges;
and
WHEREAS, MCLA 600.226 provides that former judges may be
assigned to perform judicial duties and further provides that a visiting
judge shall be paid 1/250th of the annual salary of a circuit judge; and
WHEREAS, the Circuit Court anticipates that a visiting judge
will be needed for approximately eight months in 1987, beginning March 2
to help alleviate specific backlog and delay problems, in particular a
complex non-jury trial expected to involve several months of judicial
time, as well as innovative case management techniques requiring addi-
tional judicial resources; and
WHEREAS, MCL 600.1101 provides that each circuit judge shall
have a court reporter assigned to his or her court; and
WHEREAS, by amendment to Miscellaneous Resolution #86333 the
Board of Commissioners added one temporary Court Reporter III position to
the 1987 Circuit Court budget for 90 days, effective January 1, 1987; and
WHEREAS, upon approval of the Visiting Judge position, the
Court Reporter III position is required to properly staff the visiting
judge's court; and
WHEREAS, the Court anticipates that revenue will be received to
help offset the cost of both the visiting judge and the court reporter's
salaries.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that funding for the appointment
of a visiting judge be provided for eight months, beginning March 2.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the temporary Court Reporter III
position #06012 be made a full time permanent position in the Judicial
Unit of the Circuit Court.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Public Services Committee, I
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
