Agreement between city and county for provision of judicial services.
Any city may enter into an
agreement pursuant to ORS 190.010 with the county in which a justice of the

the peace providing services to a city pursuant to such an agreement shall have
all judicial jurisdiction, authority, powers, functions and duties of the
municipal court of the city and the judges thereof with respect to all and any
violations of the charter or ordinances of the city. Unless the agreement

jurisdiction under such an agreement by a justice of the peace shall not
constitute the holding of more than one office. [1989 c.679 §2; 1999 c.1051 §243;
