Issue: Our civil department needs part-time assistance to help with Zoom meeting coordination and other clerical needs. Effective September 1, 2019, the Justice Court Technology Fund can be used to pay salaries. Our civil caseload from the period of Oct.1,2019 to August 31, 2020, was 1,245 (new civil cases filed). We are requesting $14,941.79 which includes fringe benefits to maintain part-time help on board for another fiscal year. In order to keep printing costs down, we need to purchase two (2) Lexmark desk printers for a quote amount not to exceed $1,359.25 which includes one round of toner for each printer and no monthly maintenance agreement. Lastly, for Zoom meetings, we need to purchase one monitor camera quoted at $288.00 which includes a $50.00 shipping fee. From the Minor Tools and Apparatus account, we would need a quoted price not to exceed $1,647.25.
Solution: Submit a budget amendment to the Governing Body that clearly lists and defines the categories of expenditure.
Result: The Judge representing JP Pct.2, Pl. 1 can utilize the requested Justice Court Technology Funds for the official use of his office to provide timely customer service. |
