POLICY QUESTION:
Does city council support reappointing Ethan Feldman as municipal court judge for an additional two-year term, with a three percent increase?
BACKGROUND:
Council Members Fey and Schlachter met with City Clerk Heffner and Human Resources Director Mink and discussed the process of reappointing Judge Feldman.
The city council held a performance review of Judge Feldman at its January 08, 2019 study session. Based upon discussion at that meeting, a contract has been prepared.
In accordance with Section 58 of the Littleton City Charter, the municipal court judge is appointed by council for a term of two years.
PRIOR ACTIONS OR DISCUSSION:
Per the City Charter, Section 58, the judge shall be appointed by the council for a term of two years from the date of appointment. City council completes an annual review and renews the contract every two years.
