(§ 4, Ord. 312, as amended by § 4, Ord. 394, eff. January 4, 1965, § 1, Ord. 412, eff. July 1, 1965, and § I, Urgency Ord. 88-2, eff. February 11, 1988)

The Board finds and declares, based on State Supreme Court decision Phelps vs. Brennan, 16 C.3d 508, that the terms of the judges of the superseded courts expire concurrently with the establishment of the new Southeastern Judicial District, and that there are no judges to succeed to the new office pursuant to subsection (a) of Section 71080 of the Government Code of the State, and that therefore a vacancy will exist which will be filled pursuant to Section 71180.3 of said Government Code which provides in pertinent part: "Any vacancy in the office of judge of a justice court shall, at the option of the Board of Supervisors of the county in which the justice court is situated, be filled by appointment by the board of supervisors, or by election at a special election called by the board of supervisors which shall be conducted in the same manner as the election of city councilman in general law cities as set forth in the Elections Code except that the special elections shall be conducted by the county...".

(§ 5, Ord. 312, as amended by § 1, Ord. 365, eff. March 30, 1961, and § 2, Ord. 394, eff. January 4, 1965; repealed by § I, Ord. 719, eff. January 3, 1977; reenacted by § II, Urgency Ord. 88-2, eff. February 11, 1988)

If the Board decides to fill the new justice court judge position by appointment, the Board may call for and process applications of candidates for appointment to the new office prior to the operative date of this section. However, nothing contained in this section shall give the Board the right to make the appointment before the actual creation of the Southeastern Judicial District at which time a vacancy will exist. Since the terms of the current members of the Board continues until at least noon on Monday, January 2, 1989, the current Board has the power to appoint the first judge of the new Southeastern Judicial District which is established on the first tick of the clock on January 2, 1989. If the Board decides to make the appointment of the first judge of the Southeastern Judicial District, the Board shall do so after the creation of the court and before noon on Monday, January 2, 1989, from eligible candidates for appointment to a vacancy of the office of a judge of a justice court. The eligible list shall be established pursuant to law. Such list and all other activities necessary to make the appointment may be completed before the time set for the creation of the new Southeastern Judicial District; provided, however, the Board may not make the appointment, if it chooses to do so, until after the creation of the vacancy.

(§ 6, Ord. 312; repealed by Ord. 365, eff. March 30, 1961; reenacted by § III, Urgency Ord. 88-2, eff. February 11, 1988)

If the Board decides to fill the anticipated vacancy in the newly created Southeastern Judicial District by way of special election, the Board may call a special election for January 2, 1989, to fill the vacancy occurring on said date. Should the Board decide to fill the vacancy by election, the Board shall give notice of the special election pursuant to law. The County Clerk is hereby authorized to publish any required legal notice and to take any other legally required action to conduct a special election on the date the vacancy will be created, which date is January 2, 1989.

If the Board chooses to fill the anticipated vacancy by way of a special election, the eligible person receiving the plurality, or highest number of votes cast for the particular office, shall become the judge of the Southeastern Judicial District. The tenure of the judge elected at said special election is presently prescribed by Section 71180.3 of the Government Code of the State to be until his successor is elected at the general State election next succeeding the occurrence of the vacancy, which election shall be in June 1990. If it is determined that the tenure of the judge elected at a special election is other than that as described in this section, his tenure shall be as prescribed by law.

(§ 7, Ord. 312; repealed by § I, Ord. 718, eff. January 3, 1977; reenacted by § IV, Urgency Ord. 882, eff. February 11, 1988)

So far as practical, upon the organization of the court, the clerks, their deputies and attaches, and employees of the superseded courts shall be assigned to positions in the newly created justice court similar in duties and compensation to the positions held in the superseded court; provided, however, if it appears that two (2) or more clerks, deputies, attaches, or other employees are equally entitled by virtue of the office or employment held in the superseded court to any one office or employment in the newly created court, the judge of the newly created court shall determine which is entitled to office or employment in the position where the conflict exists.

(§ 8, Ord. 312; repealed by Ord. 394, eff. January 4, 1965; reenacted by § V, Urgency Ord. 88-2, eff. February 11, 1988)

The Board shall determine which constable of the superseded courts shall succeed to office in the newly created court. Such constable shall serve for the term prescribed by law and until a successor is elected or appointed and qualifies.

(§ 9, Ord. 312; repealed by Ord. 394, eff. January 4, 1965; reenacted by § 2, Ord. 412, eff. July 1, 1965, as amended by § VI, Urgency Ord. 88-2, eff. February 11, 1988)

The Constable in the Southeastern Judicial District shall be compensated at the rate of Eight Hundred and no/100ths ($800.00) Dollars per month. He shall perform those duties required by law including, but not limited to, bailiff services and other duties as required by the court. In addition, the Constable shall be entitled to retain those fees earned for service of process. However, on an annual basis, on or before August 1 of each year, the Constable shall provide an accounting to the Auditor setting forth those fees earned and expenses incurred in performing those duties.

The foregoing compensation shall be the entire compensation for the full performance of the duties as the Constable of the Southeastern Judicial District.

(§ 1, Ord. 90-11, eff. April 12, 1990)

All actions pending in, and records of, each superseded court, upon the creation of the Southeastern Judicial District, shall become cases pending in and records of the newly created court.
