Explanatory note: Ark. Code Ann. § 16-13-709 provides that"The governing body or, if <br /> applicable, each governing body of a political subdivision which contributes to the expenses of a <br /> district court shall designate a county,town,or city official, agency, or department who shall be <br /> primarily responsible for the collection of fines assessed in the district courts of this state." <br /> It is quite common for the district court clerk to collect the fines and so the sample ordinance <br /> designates the court clerk. However, the statute allows another official to be designated. <br /> Ordinance Designating Official <br /> For Collection of Fines <br />
