Action Regtiestere
This is the time scheduled for a public hearing to solicit comments and consider the the proposed fee of
$5.00 for all writs issued by a Justice of the Peace in civil cases, effective upon Board of Supervisors'
approval. Fees collected will be deposited into the Constable Ethics Committee Fund established by
Section 22435. Senate Bill 1160, enacted September 21, 2006, amends A.R.S. §11445 to allow Board of
Supervisors to establish a fee not-to-exceed $5.00 per writ served. (C2507002000)
Complete description of action requested:
In the 2006 session, the Arizona State Legislature amended A.R.S. 11445 with regard to the Constables
Ethics Committee under Senate Bill 1180. Effective September 21, 2006, each County Board of
Supervisors is mandated to set an additional fee on each Writ issued by a Justice of the Peace Court in
their respective counties. The fee to be set shall not exceed 65.00 per writ and shall be administered by
the Constable Ethics Committee.
The fees shall be established by the Board of Supervisors requires the Constables Ethics Committee to
use 80% of the monies for Constable training, equipment, and related grants; and 20% will be used for
funding the Constables Ethics Committee, which currently does not have any appropriated funding,
Senate Bill 1180, also known as the "Marilyn Jarrett Constable Ethics Act," directs the State Treasurer to
invest and divest the monies in the fund as provided by law and on notice from the Constables Ethics
Committee and provides that monies earned from investments be credited to the fund and exempts the
fund from lapsing of appropriations. The intent of this law change waste provide sufficient funding for
the training or Constables throughout the State of Arizona in an effort to increase the knowledge,
training, and professionalism of all Constables and to increase the ability of the Constables Ethics
Committee to adequately perform its mandated duties. Currently, many counties do not provide funding
for Constables training even though training is mandated by law. The collection of funds from the
additional writ fees will alleviate this problem by making funding for training available to all Constables.
The end result should be that the public will benefit from the availability of training for all Constables
who should be able to more effectively serve their constituents in a professional manner.
Performance Information:
Program: Service of Process
Activity: Service of Process Activity

Constables.
3. How the safety of constables and deputy constables would be improved by awarding the
requested grant;
The proposed purchase of 22, 511 all-weather Response Jackets with embroidered emblems and
badge, will allow constables to improve safety in the performance of their duties in that the
jackets with identii5/ing badges and "Constable" patches allow greater visibility of their
presence in any environment or situation. Jackets with emblems will enhance Constable
security through proper identification when working with other government agencies.
4. How the execution of constable duties would be improved by awarding the requested grant.
The Constables of Maricopa have never had the funds for uniform allowances. This has caused
the Constables to dress in a variety of clothing not always consistent with a professional image.
At times this lack of professional dress has caused the Constables image problems.
