Report

RECOMMENDATION:

SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:

The Public Defender budgeted $350,000 in revenues from State reimbursements and $55,000 in client registration fees for FY 2016-17, an increase of approximately $150,000 over the last two fiscal years. Receipt of an additional $196,922 in reimbursements from the State is anticipated in the current fiscal year due to costly prison cases, offset by an estimated shortfall in client registration fees of approximately $17,600, yielding a net additional revenue of $179,322. Approval of the requested revenue and appropriations increases will help defray increased costs for Prison Defense and unanticipated costs of employee termination payoffs and settlements.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:

The County Administrative Office concurs with this request. County Counsel has reviewed this Board report.

FINANCING:

The Public Defender’s Office is requesting an increase in revenues and appropriations of $179,322, funded by State reimbursements for Prison Defense costs: Department 2270-Public Defender, Appropriation PUB001, to provide sufficient appropriation authority to meet its budgetary obligations for the remainder of FY 2016-17. This action will have no impact to the General Fund. The Office anticipates remaining within its GFC allocation.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:

ADMINISTRATION: Approval of the requested revenue and appropriations increases will promote an organization that practices efficient and effective resource management.
