FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Trial Court Facilities Act of 2002 requires the County to pay the State for
annual facility maintenance effective the date of transfer of responsibility. The
annual payment is based upon actual costs over a five-year period from FY
1995-96 to FY 1999-00 adjusted for inflation. The Court Facility Payment for 45
Civic Drive, Pittsburg for the next year has been approved by the State
Department of Finance and is $ 183,661. This amount may be slightly different
after adjusting for inflation during the past three months. Funding for this
payment has been included in the FY 2006-07 County budget. The County
currently occupies 810 square feet of the 26,431 square-foot building (3.1%). The
AOC is buying the County's equity share for $85,000 and leasing back the space
to the County.
BACKGROUND
The Trial Court Facilities Act of 2002 was adopted to provide for the transfer of
responsibility for funding and operation of trial court facilities from the counties to
the State. The counties con tinue to be responsible for the historical funding of the
trial court facilities, by way iof an annual facilities payment to the AOC. Under
this Act, all county court facilities must be transferred to the State by June 30,
2007. The Pittsburg-Delta(Court, 45 Civic Drive, Pittsburg, is the first of the
thirteen court occupied facilities that will be transferred.
TRANSFER AGREEMENT.
County staff has been working with AOC staff to complete the transfer agreement
for the Pittsburg-Delta Courthouse prior to the May 15, 2006 deadline for the
AOC to obtain funding in the upcoming fiscal year for design and property
acquisition for the new court facility planned for East County . Approval of this
agreement prior to May 15 will allow for the planning and design for the new East
County Courthouse to proceed as currently scheduled.
This agreement call for atwo-part transfer process to facilitate the AOC's ability
to secure said funding. The first step will be the transfer of responsibility for the
building and property and the second step will be the transfer of title. The
transfer of title will occur when the State Public Works Board approves accepting
the property and the AOC has met the conditions for transfer of title stated in the
agreement. The parties have agreed upon most of the terms of the transfer
agreement. The General Services Director anticipates that by May 9, the staffs
of both parties will have reached agreement on all terms.
Upon the transfer of responsibility for the facility to the AOC, the AOC will be
responsible for all facility operations and maintenance costs. The County will
continue to provide telecommunications service pursuant to a preexisting MOU,
as well building security software.
