Core Ser vices

To successfully accomplish the duties of the of ce, the department’s General Fund core services are responsible for the following:

. Provide municipal court services
2.1 – Provide responsive, ef cient city services
2.3 – Effectively leverage information technology

The municipal court staff is responsible for processing citations for the cities of Colleyville and Keller. The court processes
payments and accounts for nes, state-mandated fees, and taxes for each city. The court schedules dockets weekly to allow
citizens from both cities; an opportunity to appear before the Municipal Court Judge. The court staff of six manages the high
caseload from administering municipal court services for two cities. This places a high value on being responsive to every call, in
person, by fax, email, and mail inquiry. The municipal court staff prides itself on consistency, adaptability, and exibility to ensure
exceptional customer service.

One way this is possible is to continually leverage the latest technology designed to allow defendants to access the court remotely,
make payments online, and have contact with court staff. The use of technology is for all defendants, but particularly for
individuals who live out of town, have extenuating circumstances, and if employment prevents them from coming into court
during work hours. In post-pandemic, the court continues to offer virtual hearings as an option, as well as reinstating in-person
dockets. Staff will continually look for ways to use technology to enhance ef ciency and responsiveness.
