Explanation
Background: The Franklin County Municipal Court (FCMC) recently implemented an online payment process that enables members of the public, having access to the Internet, to pay ticket/citations, court fines, costs, and fees on a 24/7 basis. Members of the public that do not have Internet access must either mail payments or appear at the Clerk's office during normal business hours. The Municipal Court Building is open to the public on a limited schedule. The public lobby of the adjacent Franklin County Court Building located at 373 S. High Street is open to the public twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week. In order to improve service to the public and offer all full access for payment of ticket/citation, court fines, costs, and fees on a 24/7 basis, the FCMC desires to install and operate up to two (2) Web-enabled payment kiosks, outside of the Municipal Court Building, in the public lobby of the Franklin County Court Building. The Franklin County Commissioners have agreed to allow this use of County building space.
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to execute those documents necessary to enter into a License Agreement with the Franklin County Commissioners for the placement of up to two Web-enabled payment kiosks in the public lobby of the Franklin County Court Building located at 373. S. High Street.
Fiscal Impact: This License Agreement will be at no cost to the City and may support other customer service applications for both the City and the County at a future date.
Emergency Justification: Emergency action is requested to allow for the immediate implementation of 24/7 service for the payment of ticket/citations, court fines, costs, and fees to the Franklin County Municipal Court.
