EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
I
Council originally appointed Gordon F. Esplin as Temporary Judge (Assistant Municipal Judge)
in 1989, and reappointed him every two years thereafter. His current appointment terminates on
June 30, 1999. Municipal Judge Kathleen M. Lane recommends that Mr. Esplin be reappointed for
another 2-year term.
Mr. Esplin is currently paid$75 per hour for his services. That rate is well below the going rate for
legal fees in Fort Collins. For that reason, staff recommends an increase in the compensation paid
to Mr. Esplin to $80 per hour.
