Combined court considered

The villages of Walworth and Fontana are considering combining their municipal courts as part of ongoing discussions about consolidating some services between the two communities.

The Ad Hoc Joint Services Committee has drafted an agreement that would create the Fontana Walworth Court Commission to oversee the joint municipal court.

The agreement remains under review. It would create the court commission and spell out its powers, including appointing a court clerk, scheduling meetings and recommending an annual operating budget.
