§ 2-134. Findings and intent.

This division is adopted to address requirements made under state law for the City to pass an ordinance or resolution creating the office of Prosecuting Attorney and Solicitor of the Municipal Court should the City choose to hire or have a Prosecuting Attorney and Solicitor of the Municipal Court. Under state law, in order to have a Municipal Court Prosecutor, the City must pass this ordinance or resolution and provide to the Prosecuting Attorney and Solicitor's council of the state a copy of the same. The City is also required to submit the name of the person appointed to be the Prosecuting Attorney and Solicitor of the Municipal Court within 30 days of such appointment in order to maintain the office of Prosecuting Attorney and Solicitor of the Municipal Court. It is therefore the intent of the City to comply with state law, particularly O.C.G.A. § 15-18-60 et seq., and to enact this article.
