Resolution 2011-051 Reappointing Gordon F. Esplin as Temporary Judge and Authorizing the Execution of an
Employment Agreement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Council originally appointed Gordon F. Esplin as Temporary Judge (Assistant Municipal Judge) in 1989, and has
reappointed him every two years thereafter. His current appointment terminates on June 30, 2011. Municipal Judge
Kathleen M. Lane recommends that Mr. Esplin be reappointed for another two-year term.
Mr. Esplin has been paid$85 per hour for his services for several years now. While that rate is well below the going
rate for legal fees in Fort Collins, it is an appropriate rate for this occasional hourly service when compared with what
other municipalities pay their Assistant Municipal Judges. Mr. Esplin has agreed to continue in this position at the
current pay rate.
