House Bill 477 determined how deficits in a court should be allocated to the cities using that court. In February of 1981, the Finance Directors of the cities involved with Rocky River Court, changed the way that would be done; decided the deficits would be allocated per criminal case; passed an ordinance by Rocky River and forwarded it to the different cities. Court costs have not been in- creased since January 1st of 1981 and are currently $30 - $17 to Rocky River Court and $13 to the State of Ohio. This is now being, studied and the cost will probably be increased. mill continue to report to Council.
