Council approves amendment adding expungement fee to city court schedule
Summary
Council approved Ordinance 25 O 16 to modify the city court fee schedule, adding a fee associated with record expungement; staff said most increases were modest and were explained in ordinance recitals.
The Murfreesboro City Council on May 1 approved Ordinance 25 O 16, which modifies the city court fee schedule and adds a fee associated with the expungement of a record.
City attorney/staff presenter said that most of the fee changes were modest and that the principal impetus for the ordinance was adding an expunction/expungement fee requested by the clerk and Judge Sellers. The presenter recommended approval and asked for questions. Council moved, seconded and approved the ordinance on second reading by roll call; all members present voted "aye."
Ending: The ordinance passed at the meeting as described; staff said the recitals of the ordinance list rationales for the fee changes but the meeting record did not include the precise new fee amount for expungement.
