UPDATE ON YOUTH COURT Municipal Judge Michael O'Brien, Court Manager Nadine Robinson, and Washington County Juvenile Department Representative Mike Krueger presented Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes - October 28, 2003 Page 4 an update to the City Council. The Youth Court program for first offenders was developed in response to a 1999 statute authorizing municipal courts to assume jurisdiction over certain categories of juvenile offenses. The current program was reviewed and approved by Council and the Washington County Circuit Court in 2002. The program has been continuaIIy refined in cooperation with the Tigard Police Department, Tigard Peer Court, the Washington County Juvenile Department and the Washington County District Attorney. There was no objection by the Council regarding the following recommendation by presenters: "The large majority (92%) of participants, with the active involvement of one or more parents, has successfully completed the Youth Court program. Recidivism and noncompliance rates have remained very low. At current levels, the Youth Court's caseload has not imposed any significant burdens on court staff or budgets. We therefore recommend that the Youth Court program continue, subject to further evaluation as part of the Municipal Court's annual review of operations next spring." 7.
