HEARING: Authorization To Increase the Current $10 Surcharge on Superior Court
Cases Filed Under Title 26 RCW (Excluding RCW 26.50 Et Seq), and Add New Fees for the Courthouse
Facilitator Program: Chairman Johnson opened the public hearing. Superior Court Clerk Ruth Gordon
stated that the State recently passed legislation that allows a $10 increase in the current surcharge on filings
of certain domestic cases. This surcharge would be used to increase the subsidy for the Courthouse
Facilitator Program. Although the Courthouse Facilitator Program is not mandated, it has been very
successful in helping defray the County's expense for people seeking divorces without legal council because
the Facilitator helps process the paperwork which saves time in the Courtroom
Commissioner Rodgers asked if filing fees cover the cost of processing? Ruth Gordon explained that in the
case of a civil suit, the filing fee is $200. The County receives $91 and the Law Library receives $17. The
remainder goes to the State's Public Safety and Education Accounts and a portion of it may come back to
the County for specific uses but it doesn't go into the General Fund.
The Chair opened the public testimony portion of the hearing. Hearing no comments for or against the
increase in the surcharge, Chairman Johnson closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Rodgers moved to approve ORDINANCE NO. 07-0711-05, authorizing an increase to the
current $10 surcharge on Superior Court Cases Filed Under Title 26 RCW (Excluding RCW 26.50 Et Seq),
and adding new fees for the Courthouse Facilitator Program. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion
which carried by a unanimous vote.
