Trial Court Budget | 2021-22 State Trial Court Improvement and Modernization Fund Allocation Adjustment for the Judicial Council Information Technology Office (Action Required)
body
Summary
Summary
The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee recommends a net zero adjustment to the Judicial Council Information Technology office’s 2021-22 Judicial Council-approved program allocations from the State Trial Court Improvement and Modernization Fund. This adjustment will provide a foundational level of support with full-time resources rather than consultants.

Recommendation
Recommendation
The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective March 11, 2022, approve a change to the 2021-22 approved Local Assistance allocation from the Information Technology Statewide Planning and Development Support program ($169,000) and the Information Technology Telecommunications Support program ($196,000), totaling $365,000, shifting this amount to State Operations to allow for the hire of 4.0 full-time equivalent positions for the Statewide Planning and Development Support program and 5.5 full-time equivalent positions for the Telecommunications Support program. Approval of this adjustment request for 2021-22 allocations relies on the understanding that future-year allocation requests for these positions will be the same. Long-term funding for the 9.5 full-time equivalent positions will result in no additional cost to the previous 2022-23 Information Technology Statewide Planning and Development Support program and Telecommunications Support program estimated expenditures.
