§ 1901.262.
(A) A municipal court may establish by rule procedures for the resolution of disputes
between parties. Any procedures so adopted shall include, but are not limited to, mediation. If the court establishes any procedures under this division, the court may include
in the court's schedule of fees and costs under section 1901.26 of the Revised Code a reasonable fee, that is to be collected on the filing of each civil or criminal
action or proceeding, and that is to be used to implement the procedures, and the
court shall direct the clerk of the court to charge the fee. (B) All fees collected under division (A) of this section shall be paid to the county
treasurer if the court is a county-operated municipal court or to the city treasurer
if the court is not a county-operated municipal court. The treasurer shall place the funds from the fees in a separate fund to be disbursed
either upon an order of the court, subject to an appropriation by the board of county
commissioners if the court is a county-operated municipal court or by the legislative
authority of the municipal corporation if the court is not a county-operated municipal
court, or upon an order of the court, subject to the court making an annual report
available to the public listing the use of all such funds. (C) If the court determines that the amount of the moneys in the fund described in
division (B) of this section is more than the amount sufficient to satisfy the purpose
for which the additional fee described in division (A) of this section was imposed,
the court may declare a surplus in the fund and, subject to an appropriation by the
board of county commissioners if the court is a county-operated municipal court or
by the legislative authority of the municipal corporation if the court is not a county-operated
municipal court, expend the surplus moneys, or upon an order of the court, subject
to the court making an annual report available to the public listing the use of all
such funds, expend the surplus moneys for other appropriate expenses of the court.
