Board of County Commissioners
STAFF REPORT
PUBLIC HEARING
DATE: May 15, 2018 at 2:00 p.m.
ACTION REQUESTED: Approve an ordinance updating the fee schedule in Title 4
of the Kittitas County Code to include the registration fee
charged by the Clerk’s Office to process applications for
electronic access to Superior Court dockets through
Odyssey.
BACKGROUND: The Administrative Office of the Courts provides the case
management system to the Kittitas County Superior Court
users. The current system was developed in 1977 and is
being replaced with a program called “Odyssey” in June of
2018. All persons are allowed a public view access for
free. In addition, the Odyssey case management system
allows differing level of access provided the County Clerk
approves and maintains the access; and the corresponding
documentation. The establishment of a fee for the
additional responsibility and recordkeeping is both
reasonable and prudent.
INTERACTION: The Prosecutor’s office was directed to draft the attached
ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the attached ordinance adding a new chapter to
title 4 of the Kittitas County Code regarding electronic
access to superior court dockets.
ATTACHMENT: Ordinance adding a new chapter to title 4 of the Kittitas
County Code regarding electronic access to superior court
dockets.
LEAD STAFF: Stephanie Hartung, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
