Summary
Summary
The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council approve an extension for the Superior Court of Contra Costa County to continue receiving Children’s Waiting Room (CWR) funds through June 30, 2020. The court closed its CWR in Pittsburg on October 1, 2018, in order to relocate to Martinez. The court received approval to continue receiving CWR funds during the closure and one extension due to project delays and is now having difficulty securing a vendor to operate the new location. This recommendation will allow more time to identify a vendor for its new location and start operations at its CWR.
