A. Additional judicial positions may be created by the mayor, subject to approval of city council, when the public interest and administration of justice make such judges necessary. Such additional judge(s) shall be appointed by the mayor, subject to confirmation by the city council, until the next municipal election, at which time such judge(s) shall be elected in the same manner as other elective city officials are elected to office. The term of the additional judge(s) shall be the same as Positions 1 and 2 as provided herein.

B. To be eligible to file a declaration of candidacy for and to serve as an additional municipal court judge, a person must be a registered voter and resident of the city of Everett for at least one year next preceding the person’s election and/or the person’s appointment; an attorney admitted to practice law before the courts of record of the state of Washington; and a citizen of the state of Washington and of the United States of America.

C. The number of hours per month to be served by additional judges shall be approved by city council after receiving a recommendation from the mayor. The salary for the additional municipal judges shall be the proportion of full-time (forty hours per week) for which the positions are authorized, multiplied by the annual salary for a municipal judge, which shall be set by the Citizens’ Commission on Salaries of Elected Officials. The municipal judges of the city of Everett shall be granted all items of nonsalary compensation granted to appointive officers as specified in Sections 2.74.010 through 2.74.050 of this code.
