July 12, 1988 Co �� SUBJECT; �J' "y ACTIONS RELATED TO LITIGATION SETTLEMENTS SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECCMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION• 1. Increase revenues in Budget Unit 0005 and approve expenditure adjustments in Budget Unit 150 - Insurance so payments made to the cities are in accordance with the agreement reached with the cities on the fines and forfeitures issue earlier this year. 2. Authorize the Auditor-Controller to release funds from the reserve for litigation to allow the Municipal Court and Public Defender budgets to be "made whole" with respect to revenues lost or expenditures made as a result of the litigation agreements. 3 . Approve related appropriation adjustments for the affected Municipal Court and Public Defender budgets. BACKGROUND: In February, the Board of Supervisors approved a settlement agreement related to a lawsuit filed by the cities which allowed the County to increase certain fines in order to reimburse the cities for funds which had been retained by the County in prior years. The agreement also called for the County to pay to the cities an amount totalling $250,000 by the end of . the fiscal year. The source of funding was to be a combination of the new revenues and general fund moneys. On June 22, the County was informed that all the cities had agreed to the terms of the agreement as approved by the Board earlier this year. This means that the June 30th payment included in that agreement was due and payable at the end of the year. Payment was made prior to the 30th in anticipation that Board action would be forthcoming. In addition, the Municipal Courts budgets were budgeted to receive revenues at a higher level than the settlement has permitted, since a significant portion of the budgeted funds are now going to the cities instead of the Municipal Courts. In order for those budgets to end up the year without a deficit, it is recommended that the Auditor be authorized to release funds held for this purpose by approving an appropriation adjustment for the Municipal Courts, as shown on the attached sheets.
