Hatfield, Clm C. Hatfield, Clm Roberts, Atty Perkins and Z.O. Slater DISCUSSION Court salaries - board members have copies of information supplied by Judge Lloyd. Judge Lloyd - we recognize Monday night court is always busier than Thursday day court based on numbers alone. There is more work required to do civil than there is in criminal or V & T. I feel Monday court does more work than Thursday court. It may look like 60% - 40% in some years. Supv Schug - isn't the night court more of a pass through. Judge Lloyd - the clerk's feel they are falling behind in recognition for their efforts compared to other full time employees of the town. This should be considered as well and I • will be happy to answer any questions you might have. I Clm T. Hatfield - wondered about the work involved when the village court closed. Judge Lloyd - there was a bulge of cases that were open when the village court was closed. I was asked how this was going to affect the town court when the village court was closed. I told them there were too many unknowns. There were several hundred mail waivers that were not handled by the village along with civil and criminal cases. These were some of the unknowns. This was temporary and did put us behind. I feel that from April 1st, 1995 to March 1996 we will handle 3700 cases and after that we will drop down to 3500 after we get the bulge taken care of. It was a 40 per cent increase from the village court. Clm Roberts - do you think the additional 40 per cent increase in work load will be handled in the normal work day. Judge Lloyd - I posed that question to the clerk's and they feel they can. I think that is a valid question. You might want to get an expert in from OCA who could tell you. Clm C. Hatfield the 40 per cent increase from the village is mostly traffic tickets. is n At a special meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Dryden, Tompkins County, New York, held at the Town Hall, 65 East Main Street, Dryden, New York in said Town, on the 2nd day of November, 1995 at 1:00 o'clock p.m., prevailing time.
