Home My WebLink AboutMINUTES - 09231997 - SD8 b ` Contra TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Costa Count FROM: PHIL BATCHELOR mos -�° County Administrator DATE: September 23, 1997 SUBJECT: IMPACTS OF SECOND JUVENILE COURT JUDGE Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) & Background & Justification RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. ACKNOWLEDGE fiscal impacts created by the addition of a second juvenile court department. 2. APPROVE P-300, #17385, adding one deputy district attorney-fixed term to the District Attorney's Office. 3. APPROVE P-300, #17394, adding two deputy county counsels-deep class to the County Counsel's Office. 4. APPROVE P-300, #17395, adding one deputy public defender I to the Public Defender's Office and one deputy public defender I to the Alternate Defender's Office. FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated annual cost of adding these five attorneys is as follows: $58,100 for the District Attorney's Office to be offset by restricted revenue; $161,880 for the County Counsel's Office to be offset by Social Services Title XX funding; and $180,160 for the Public Defender's Office funded initially through current year appropriation. Total estimated annual cost is $400,140. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND: The Governor recently appointed the previously authorized 18th superior court judge. The Superior Court has decided to use this new judicial position to initiate a second juvenile court department which will cover the full range of juvenile cases, including delinquency and dependency. This unexpected decision has created the above- described fiscal impacts on the three legal departments of the County which serve the juvenile court.

The juvenile court judge acknowledges the impact that this decision makes but believes in the long-run there will be a quicker resolution and disposition of cases and a reduction in the amount of continuances. The County Administrator, in conjunction with the County Counsel, District Attorney and Public Defender, will carefully monitor this situation to determine if, in fact, these hoped for changes occur and will report back to your Board as appropriate regarding this issue. In addition, the County Administrator will work with the Public Defender to minimize, to the extent possible, the general fund impact upon the budget of that Office. 0 / POSITION ADJUSTMENT REQUEST D� NO. � V DATE 9/5/97 Department No./ COPERS Department District Attorney Budget Unit No. 0242 Org No. 2810 Agency No. 42 Adti on Requested Add one Deputy District Attorney - Fixed Term (2KWD) Proposed Effective Date: 10/1/97 Classification Questionnaire attached: Yes [ ] No [X] c Cost is within Department's budget: Yes [X] No [ ] �r7> 4 Total one-time costs (non-salary) associated with request: $ 7.500 CZ) Estimated total cost adjustment (salary/benefits/one-time): $ 58.100 - Total annual cost $ 67.500 Net County Cost $ 0 ?'
