The court is being closed after years of declining caseloads, said Reed Richards, an attorney with the Weber County Sheriff's Office. The formation of the Ogden Justice Court played a large role in reducing the number of cases Weber County saw, staff because the city has about 200 filings per month and Marriott-Slaterville averages 100. A court needs 500 filings to be bumped up to a first- class court with additional staffing requirements. "Marriott-Slaterville has been looking for a place to land. We both are serviced by the Weber County Sheriff's Department. We are below the filing limit of needing more staff and still have room to grow," Christensen said. The cities will split expenses and revenue, he said. Morris said Marriott-Slaterville will give Washington Terrace 180 days' notice if officials decide to change. "If Farr West changes their class of court, we may move over," Morris said. "It doesn't look like that is going to happen in the foreseeable future." "Our residents will have to drive a long distance. We hoped to get something more local. It didn't work out that way." Morris said most of the citations in the city go to nonresidents with DUIs or traffic violations on state roads. He said the state will not allow the city to form its own court because of a policy to consolidate small courts. Washington Terrace was suggested because of its low caseload. Washington Terrace City Manager Mark Christensen said bringing Marriott- Slaterville into the Terrace's court will not require more Marriott-Slaterville, Washington Terrace to combine caseloads By KATIE M. ELLIS Standard-Examiner correspondent MARRIOTT-SLATERVILLE — The Weber County Justice Court the city uses will close April 1, and with nowhere else to go, Mariott- Slaterville will join a court on the opposite end of the coun- i'ty "Why Washington Terrace? We wanted Farr West, but it would have changed the class of their court. We are at the north end, and (Washington Terrace) is at the south end of the county," said Marriott- Slaterville City Administrator Bill Morris.
