BACKGROUND The community in which many Maricopa County residents travel as a routine part of their daily C schedules typically extends beyond the jurisdictional boundaries of a single limited jurisdiction court. Many people who residein our county live in one city, while working in another.They may shop, dine out or visit friends in still a third. Even while remaining in one city, residents may drive on one of the freeways, essentially leaving the jurisdiction of the municipal court and yielding themselves to the jurisdiction of one of the justice of the peace courts should they happen to be cited for a traffic violation. To the extent that the various limited jurisdiction courts within Maricopa County impose substantially different bonds for the same or similar offenses,or to the extent that the various limited jurisdiction courts treat uniform traffic violations in a different manner by imposing substantially different fines without offering a clear and acceptable explanation for those differences,the inherent fairness of the limited jurisdiction courts within Maricopa County are called into question.The potential for negatively impacting public perception of the courts'fairness is even greater for those courts whose jurisdictional boundaries are adjacent to one another. A review of the criminal bond schedules and civil traffic sanction amounts used by limited jurisdiction courts within Maricopa County reveals that there is substantial variation among the courts. It is because of this variation that you appointed a task force of limited jurisdiction judges to review the various bond schedules and minor traffic sanction amounts to determine if there was agreement as to uniform bond amounts for misdemeanor offenses and/or civil traffic sanction amounts. \ms/ The task force has met on two occasions and recommends the following for review and discussion by the presiding judges at the next Presiding Judges'meeting,scheduled for September 2,1994. CHon C.Kimball Rose August 29,1994 Page 2 UNIFORM BOND SCHEDULE PRESUMPTIVE SANCTIONS FOR CIVIL TRAFFIC PRESUMPTIVE DEFENSIVE DRIVING PROGRAM FEE STATEMENT OF INTENT 1.The presiding judges of limited jurisdiction courts within Maricopa County retain authority within their courts to set fine amounts for civil traffic offenses.This statement is not intended to limit or extend that authority. 2.Nevertheless,the presiding judges of limited jurisdiction courts within Maricopa County also recognize that public perception of the criminal justicesystem and, more specifically,the courts,can be enhanced by ensuring greater consistency in the setting of bond amounts for the same or similar criminal offenses and in the imposition of sanctions for civil traffic offenses by the limited jurisdiction courts within Maricopa County. 3.In the absence of localcommunity concerns which may justify alternative fines, the presiding judges of limited jurisdiction courts within Maricopa County agreeto voluntarily structure bonds,civil traffic sanctions and the DDP fee to conform with this schedule, effective January 1,1995. 4.This schedule will be reviewed bya task force appointed bythe Presiding Judge of Maricopa County on an annual basis to determine ifthere should be any recommended changes to this schedule. UNIFORM BOND SCHEDULE Class 1 Misdemeanors $500 Class 2 Misdemeanors $350 Class 3 Misdemeanors $150 Itis recognized that judges in individual cases mayset bond amounts that vary substantially from these uniform bond amounts,based upon the particular facts of each individual case before them. These bond amounts are to be used for those defendants electing to post bond after being booked into jail,in lieu of appearing before a judge. These bond amounts include all applicable surcharges.This statement recognizes as paramount,the constitutional mandate that,in all cases,the purpose of a bond is to guarantee the subsequent appearance of the defendant for a court proceeding. CHon C.Kimball Rose August 29,1994 Page 3 C PRESUMPTIVE SANCTIONS FOR CIVIL TRAFFIC OFFENSES These presumptive sanction amounts (excluding mandatory sanction amounts)include a range of plus or minus 20%.It is anticipated that over time,individual courts will consider narrowing the range as these presumptive sanction amounts are reviewed for possible changes.These sanction amounts are those that appear on a payment card or envelope for those individuals who elect to mail in their sanction without appearing before a judge or hearing officer and includes applicable surcharges. Civil traffic offenses with minimum mandatory sanction amounts,which do not require .an appearance before a judge,will state the minimum mandatory amount. Civil traffic offenses were divided into four categories: *Offenses with minimum mandatory sanctions Minimum mandatory amount *Moving traffic offenses $90 (+.20%-this allows a range from $72 to $108). *Non-moving traffic offenses $60 (+_20%-this allows a range from $48 to $72). *Speeding: 1 - 9 mph over $90 10-15 mph over $100 16-20 mph over $120 More than 20 mph over must appear before a judge (these are also subject to +.20%) PRESUMPTIVE DEFENSIVE DRIVING PROGRAM FEE The presumptive DDP fee is $80 with a 20%variance above or below the presumptive amount.
