The Municipal Court Judge shall approve all applications for
appointment, on a per case basis, of a municipal public defender to
represent indigent persons as required by law.
Those persons applying for representation by the municipal public
defender shall pay an application fee of $200 at the time of presentation
of an application for the public defender. The Municipal Court Judge
may, however, in his discretion, waive any required application fee
in whole or in part if the Judge determines, in his discretion, that
the application fee represents an unreasonable burden on the person
seeking representation.
This ordinance shall take effect when passed and published as
required by law.
