Muni court report
Ottawa County Municipal Court Administrator and Clerk, Rebecca Szilagyi, has completed the 2011 year-end court report, which shows gross receipts surpassed $1.4 million and the court administered more than 7,500 cases.

Of the funds collected, more than $550,000 were paid to the county general fund.  An additional $469,000.00 was disbursed locally and to state, including $40,000 to the Ohio Victim(s) of Crimes Fund.

“Of the newly filed cases, 4,074 were traffic, 2,296 were criminal, 805 were civil and small claims matters, 316 were garnishments and bank aids and 318 were mediation requests.” Szilagyi added. “As in the past, the municipal court has collected and disbursed more monies than the actual cost of its operation.”
