Syllabus

The juvenile court incorrectly determined that the $9.00 court cost mandated by R.C. 2743.70(A)(2) was not waivable and abused its discretion by failing to exercise its authority to evaluate whether that cost should be waived on indigency grounds. Judgment reversed with respect to imposition of $9.00 court cost and remanded for the juvenile court to evaluate whether appellant is indigent for the purpose of determining whether it is appropriate to waive that cost. Judgment affirmed in all other respects.
