WHEREAS, Section 31-2-210 of the Colorado Revised Statutes authorizes the governing body of a Colorado home rule municipality to submit proposed Home Rule Charter amendments to the voters of such municipality by ordinance; and WHEREAS, the Town ofi Vail (the 'Town") Town Council (the "Council") wishes to refer a measure amending Subsection 7.2(a) of the Town Home Rule Charter concerning municipal court jurisdiction to the Town electors at the November 2005 regular municipal election; and WHEREAS, to be included an the November 2005 ballot, the ballot title for such measure must be established by September 20, 2005; and WHEREAS, the Council therefore desires to refer the ballot measure and set the ballot title concerning the amendment of Home Rule Charter Subsection 7.2(a) by this emergency • ordinance. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF VAIL, COLORADO: Section 1. The following proposed amendment to the Town of Vail Home Rule Charter is hereby submitted to the voters of the Town for their consideration at the Vail regular municipal election to be conducted on November 8, 2005: Amend Subsection 7.2(a) of the Charter as follows: Section 7.2 Judiciary Compensation: (a) Presiding Municipal Judge. There shall be a municipal court vested with exslesive-e;<igieai jurisdiction of all cases arising under the ordinances of the town and as may be conferred by law. The municipal court shall be presided over and its functions exercised by a judge, appointed by the council for a specified term of two (2) years. The council may, when his appointment for term of office expires, re-appoint the municipa{ judge. Any vacancy in the office of municipal judge shall be filled by appointment by the council for the remainder of the unexpired term. i Ordinance 21, Series 2005 1 , e . Section 2. Ballot Title. The ballot title for the Charter Amendment referred to the voters by this Ordinance shall read as follows: SHALL THE HOME RULE CHARTER OF THE TOWN OF VAIL, COLORADO, BE AMENDED TO ELIMINATE THE EXCLUSIVITY OF THE VAIL MUNICIPAL COURT'S JURISDICTION OF ALL CASES ARISING UNDER THE ORDINANCES OF THE TOWN? Section 3. Severabilitv. If any provision of this Ordinance is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the remaining provisions of this Ordinance will remain valid, it being the intent of the Town of Vail that the provisions of this Ordinance are severable. Section 4. Repealer. All ordinances or resolutions, or parts thereof, in conflict with this Ordinance are hereby repealed, provided that such repealer shall not repeal the repealer clauses of such ordinance nor revive any ordinance thereby. Section 5. Emeraencv Measure. The Council finds and determines that original exclusive jurisdiction of all cases arising under the ordinances of the Town in the Town municipal court could lead to an increase in both the number and complexity of cases filed with such court. The Council further finds that the Town municipal court is likely unable to handle such an increase in case load with its current resources and available budget. The Council further finds that a significant increase in municipal court docketing and scheduling to accommodate civil matters otherwise brought in district court under Rule 106(a)(4) of the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure could deter the swift dispensation of local criminal matters • and enforcement of Town laws, to the detriment of the health, safety and welfare of all citizens of the Town of Vail. The Council therefore desires to ensure that the electors of the Town be given the opportunity to vote on the Charter Amendment referred herein at the next possible election, for which the ballot title must be established by September 20, 2005. Based upon all of the foregoing, the Council finds and declares that there is reasonable justification for the adoption of this Ordinance as an emergency measure, that this Ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public welfare, and that this Ordinance shall therefore take effect immediately upon adoption as provided by Section 4.11 of the Vail Home Rule Charter. INTRODUCED, READ, PASSED, ADOPTED AS AN EMERGENCY MEASURE BY THE UNANIMOUS VOTE OF COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT OR A VOTE OF FIVE (5) COUNCIL MEMBERS, WHICHEVER IS LESS, AND ORDERED PUBLISHED THIS 20th DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2005.
