July 27, 1999 TO: County Judge Fred Henneke /~~ FROM: Sheriff Frances A. Kaiser /Civil Deputy Carrol Golden SUBJECT: Request for increase in Civil Fees Due to an increase in requests for service of Writs and the time required and spent on such, I am requesting that the Commissioner's Court increase these fees effective January 1, 2000, which must be done at budget time. According to the Sheriffs' and Constables' Fees published by the Comptroller of Public Accounts, effective January 1, 1999, there are 12 counties that chazge over $100.00 for Writs, the maximum being $200.00. I do not feel that $200.00 is an unreasonable amount to request. Kerr County currently charges $100.00 for Executions, Writ of Executions and Order of Sale (Tax Warrants). Writs of Attachment, Garnishment, Sequestration and Possession require as much, or more time, and we only chazge $45.00 for service of each. Also there are approximately 179 counties whose fees for service of Subpoenas, Citations and Summons range from $50.00 to $75.00. Kerr County's fees are $45.00. Thank you for your consideration of this request Attached: Copy of current Sheriffs' Fees Copy of Counties charging over $100.00 for service ORDER NO. 25026 APPROVAL OF SETTING SHERIFF'S FEES FOR 1998 PER SECTION 118.131 LOCAL GOVERNMENT CDDE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1998 On this day the 22nd day of September, 1997, upon motion made by Commissioner Oehler, seconded by Commissioner Lackey, the Court unanimously approved by a vote of 4-0-0, setting Sheriff's Fees for 1998 per Section 118.131 Local Government Code to be effective January 1, 1998, as follows: 1.
