DISGUSSION:
On August 24, 1999, (M&C G-12638} the City Council approved an ordinance creating the Municipal Gourt
Technology Fund in the Special Trust Fund. Funding is derived from a technology fee assessed on
defendants convicted of a misdemeanor in Municipal Court. The Fund, as designated, may be used to
fund the purchase of technology enhancements for the Municipal Court Services Department.
In December 2445, the Municipa( Court Services Department transitioned into the GourtView Case
Management System ("GourtView"} for all court cases. The Department has identified a number of
business processes that can be performed in a more efficient and effective manner, if enhancements were
made to GourtView. As a result, GourtView Justice Solutions (CJS}, as successor-in-interest to Maximus
Inc., has provided cost estimates for improving the methods used for:
1. Reporting costs to the State of Texas;
2. Establishing identity consolidation;
3. Interfacing with the Financial Management Services Department's MARS GL System;
4. Entering data in the Case Initiation module;
S. Identifying the specifications far the Attorney Schedule module.
