Lake Forest Park Court wins AWC Municipal Excellence Award

Lake Forest Park Municipal Court has been awarded the Association of Washington Cities’ (AWC) Municipal Excellence Award for its TEC-Hearing (Traffic Electronic Court Hearing) program in the “Going Green” category.

The AWC Municipal Excellence Award recognizes and applauds city achievements and encourages other city organizations to develop similar programs. This year, the Municipal Court entered the competition by submitting its TEC-Hearing (Traffic Electronic Court Hearing) program in the Going Green category. A TEC-Hearing allows for a completely electronic venue for the Municipal Judge to adjudicate traffic infractions.

Winners of the Municipal Excellence Award are honored at AWC’s annual conference in June in the Tri-Cities and entries are featured throughout the year on AWC’s website and Cityvision magazine.
