[Adopted 4-2-2012 by Ord. No. 4-2012[1]]

Editor's Note: This ordinance also superseded former Art.
II, Municipal Public Defender, adopted 2-23-1994 by Ord. No. 3-1994,
as amended.
A.
All persons applying for representation by the Pleasantville Municipal
Public Defender must pay an application fee of not more than $200,
but only in an amount necessary to pay the costs of Municipal Public
Defender services. The Pleasantville Municipal Court may waive any
required application fee, in whole or in part, if the Court determines,
in its discretion, upon a clear and convincing showing by the applicant,
that the application fee represents an unreasonable burden on the
person seeking representation. The Pleasantville Municipal Court may
permit a person to pay the application fee over a specific period
of time not to exceed four months.
B.
Funds collected pursuant to Subsection A of this section shall be deposited in a dedicated fund administered by the Chief Financial Officer of the City of Pleasantville. Such funds shall be used exclusively to meet the costs incurred in providing the services of a Municipal Public Defender, including, when required, expert and lay investigation and testimony.
C.
In the event that it is determined by the Division of Local Government
Services during its annual review of the municipal budget that the
amount of money in a dedicated fund established pursuant to this section
exceeds by more than 25% the amount which the municipality expended
during the prior year providing the services of a Municipal Public
Defender, the amount in excess of the amount expended shall be forwarded
to the Criminal Disposition and Review Collection Fund administered
by Victims of Crime Compensation Board.
