MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council Members
~
FROM: Timothy C. Hansley, City Manager
,
SUBJECT: Substitute Senate Bill 246
DATE: May 10, 1993
INITIATED BY: Laura A. Colwell, Court Administrator/Probation Officer
On March 24, 1993 Substitute Senate Bill 246 became effective allowing the courts
to collect an additional fee not to exceed ten dollars per case for the computerization
of the office of Mayor's Court. The attached ordinance proposes that the City of
Dublin approve and establish a computer fund specifically for the operational costs and
any subsequent updates for the Dublin Mayor's Court Computer system. Upon this
ordinance passing, the Mayor's Court will propose a fee of five dollars per case to be
credited to the computer fund. The five dollar fee was determined in accordance with
the extent of computerization within the office.
In 1993 court projections reflect that an average of 3600 cases will be processed. If
the five dollar fee was applied to each case the computerization fund would generate
$18,000. According to Substitute Senate Bill 246 the following areas would be
considered appropriate expenditures for computerization. They include, but are not
limited to: computer space; computer electrical; computer printers; computer
software; subscription to computer service(s); staff to operate the computer system;
including fringes; supplies; i.e., computer paper etc.; training expenses; maintenance
of equipment; and computer needs studies.
Due to these substantial benefits, I would ask that City Council vote to approve the
attached ordinance allowing the Dublin Mayor's Court to establish a special fund for
the computerization of the office of Clerk of Court.
