in serious misdemeanors with an unusually high number of jury trials and
felony preliminaries , two of the most time consuming and burdensome

has a large backlog in parking citations which have not been processed.
In order to remedy this situation, the Bay Municipal Court District and
the Cities within the District have mutually agreed to retain an independent
contractor to provide for an automated parking citation processing system
to assist in the collection of the parking citations.
After evaluation of prospective vendors, the Bay Municipal Court Adminis-
trator selected DATACOM Systems Corporation, Inc. to provide this service.
The contract for the parking citation collection system is between the
County on behalf of the Bay Municipal Court District and DATACOM. Under
the' terms of the contract, DATACOM will provide the computer programs,
written procedures and other supporting items required to carry out its
services. In addition DATACOM will provide monthly management and statis-
tical reports as required by the County and Cities . it
The contract payment provides that DATACOM will receive 75� for each
citation entered into the DATACOM system and 40% of all revenues derived
from collection of out-of-state parking citations on a monthly basis. ,
Each incorporated City respectively within the Bay Judicial District ha's

authority for the County and City to adjust the division of parking
citation revenues.
Since the other court districts are not experiencing a backlog to
the degree that Bay Municipal Court has, it is not recommended that
the County contract for processing of parking citations for all
court districts at this time. Currently my office is working with
the three remaining court districts for centralized inputting of
parking citations upon conversion of the present mini-computer
configurations to an on-line system.
