Aurora City Council Fall Workshop
The meeting initiated the budget rules discussion for the day, establishing procedures for review, questioning staff, and making changes to budgets, requiring five votes for discussion and six for final changes. Discussions focused primarily on the City Attorney's budget and operations. Key topics included the increase in litigation team size to manage growing in-house casework, the impact of transferring domestic violence cases to the county, and the process for handling outstanding collection cases (fines/fees) versus active warrants. Further discussion addressed how moving municipal traffic cases to municipal court impacts caseload, noting that traffic citations typically require minimal staff time unless they involve higher-level charges like habitual no proof of insurance or state charges, which are handled differently.
