BONELLI ADMITS STRONG ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR OF MERGER OF MUNICIPAL COURTS
Super'visor Frank G. Bonelli today admitted that Chief Adminis-
trative Officer L. S. Hol1inger's report on the proposed merger of the
Municipal Courts in Los Angeles County appears to substantiate that
consolidation of the existing 26 independent judicial districts into
one Municipal Court District would effect overall efficiency and
economy.
Bonelli said: liThe substantial number of requests for additional
municipal court judges for the 1965-66 fiscal year--eight from my First
Supervisorial District alone, namely; Alhambra, Citrus (West Covina),
Downey, El Monte, Los Cerritos (Bellflower), San Antonio (Huntington
Park), South Gate and Writtier, and as many as 20 in the entire County--
spotlights the need forlfull evaluation of the problem if we are to
avoid the Municipal Courts becoming a 'judicial Frankenstein (monster).'
"The Municipal Courts have 10ng been identified, however, as the
'people's courts, I beingistrategically located throughout the County in
close proximity to the people for easy availability and convenience.
Thus, the home rule concept of Municipal Courts, via their location
and with their judges being elected 10cally so as to be immediately
responsive to and familar with local community life, becomes a vital
part of fully evaluating the courts' efficiency and economy. Of neces-
sity, an expression from the cities is paramount and essential before
any action is taken by our Board of Supervisors."
Bonelli said he will make a motion at the April 6 meeting of the
Board of Supervisors that the merger proposal be continued one week to
give the cities and existing municipal court districts an opportunity
to study a~d evaluate the pIan so that it will be thoroughly under-
stood. He emphasized, however, that there could be no delay beyond
next Tuesday's Board meeting of April 13 ~ecause of the approaching
deadline of April 23 for submission of the enabling legislation before
the State Legislature during the current session in Sacramento.
