MUNICIPAL CO
Rb~?~IIN•1 NUMBER CE SUBJECT Supplemental Appropriation PAGE
8-9-83 G-5704 Request for the Municipal Court ior~.._.__
A $230,000 supplemental appropriation is required for salaries of regular
employees, overtime, extra help and postage during the remainder of this
fiscal year for the Municipal Court.
Due to an increase in ticket issuance, additional personnel (eight overage
positions) were necessary for the courts to handle the workload and meet
the timely legal demands. A 24% increase in warrant issuance required
more warrant officers to enforce court appearances and collect delinquent
revenue.
Overtime and extra help have been used for filling data entry, trial setting
and other job classifications to meet workload demands,
Increased ticket issuance has caused an additional expense for postage
because of increased correspondence with defendants and attorneys regarding
pleadings by mail, case setting notices, delinquent notices, etc.
These continued expenditures will allow the Municipal Court to collect
estimated revenues of $6,013,891 for the 82-83 fiscal year, an increase
of $1,786,250 over the amount of revenue budgeted.
Financing
A supplemental appropriation from the General Fund fund undesignated balance
in the amount of $230,000 is required to fund the Municipal Court operations
for the remainder of this fiscal year.
Recommendation.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Supplemental
Appropriations Ordinance appropriating $230,000 to General Fund Account
38-10-00, Municipal Court, from the undesignated fund balance of the
General Fund.
