Court Facilities: Court-Funded Facilities Request Policy (Action Required)
body
Summary
Summary
The Trial Court Facility Modification Advisory Committee (TCFMAC) recommends revising the Court-Funded Facilities Request (CFR) Procedure to increase the small project budget maximum value from its current threshold of $15,000 per project and to allow Judicial Council staff to approve CFRs. These procedural changes will allow trial court leaders to better plan their facilities financial contributions and see urgent facilities projects come to fruition as much as 45 days sooner than the current standard allows.

Recommendation
The Trial Court Facility Modification Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective August 26, 2016, revise the Court-Funded Facilities Request Procedure to:
1. Increase the small project budget maximum value from its current threshold of $15,000 to $50,000 per project; and
2. Permit the TCFMAC to delegate its CFR approval authority to the director of the Judicial Council’s Real Estate and Facilities Management (REFM) office.
