Analysis
This ordinance authorizes the municipal court to set temporary deposit amounts for non-traffic ordinance violations until the official municipal court non-traffic deposit schedule is approved by the common council. The ordinance further requires the municipal court to submit an updated deposit schedule for approval by the common council at least annually.

Whereas, Section 800.037, Wis. Stats., provides that “The deposit in traffic cases shall be made as provided in s. 345.26. In boating cases, the deposit shall be made as provided in s. 23.66 and 23.67. The municipal court, with the approval of the governing body of the municipality, shall set the deposit schedule for all other cases.”; and

Whereas, The common council of the City of Milwaukee is the governing body of the municipality; and

Whereas, The municipal court sets deposit amounts for approval by the common council; and
