Title
Allocations and Reimbursements to Trial Courts | Extension on Receipt of Children’s Waiting Room Funds During Temporary Closure (Action Required)
body
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 to accumulate sufficient resources in anticipation of the CWR reopening by October 2019. The Contra Costa court closed its CWR in Pittsburg on October 1, 2018, in order to relocate to Martinez. Due to project delays, the court was unable to reopen in July 2019 and submitted a request for a three-month extension in anticipation of reopening by October 2019.
Recommendation
The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee (TCBAC) recommends that the Judicial Council, effective September 24, 2019, approve the continuation of the distribution of Children’s Waiting Room funds to the Superior Court of Contra Costa County to allow the court to accumulate sufficient funding to operate the CWR full time at its new location in Martinez, scheduled to reopen in October 2019.
