Council Member Brewer and Commissioner Strauber discuss the revenue generated from marshal fees and the trends in evictions. They also touch on efforts to keep people in their homes.
- Marshals pay an assessment of $1,500 and 4.5% of their gross income to the city
- The city received approximately $1,680,000 from marshals in 2023
- The increase in revenue is partly due to 'catching up' from the pandemic period when there were no evictions
- Council Member Brewer emphasizes the importance of keeping eviction numbers down through programs like 'one shots' to help people pay rent

I assume the large number for, you know, '23 and '24 was because they were, quote, unquote, catching up from pandemic when there were no evictions and yet the courts were processing and all of that.

So that was, Thank The more we can do to keep the number down if in fact, you know, we're trying to keep people in their homes with one shots and other aspects of paying the rent.
