Public Safety Committee Meeting
3/10/2014 12:55 PM
Approve Public Defender to Hire Four Attorneys with Available State Funds and Unspent 2013 City
Funds Rolled Forward
Department:Public Defender
Caption:Approve Public Defender to Hire Four Attorneys with Available
State Funds and Unspent 2013 City Funds Rolled Forward.
Background:Changes to the Juvenile Court System, along with the expansion
of Superior Court to eight criminal courts necessitates the hiring
of two Juvenile Court attorneys and two additional Superior Court
attorneys.
Analysis:Upon review of State and Tri County funding for the Public
Defender's Office, it is determined these four positions can be
achieved by realigning staff positions from the State to the
County. As of January 1, 2014, there is $201,130 available in the
State budget that can be returned to the County and $156,000
unspent in the Public Defender 2013 budget that can be rolled
forward for 2014 appropriations. With these funds, four additional
attorneys could be added immediately.
Financial Impact:With excess funds, paid to the state, returned to the county and
unspent 2013 funds rolled forward, no additional funding will be
required.
Alternatives:Do not approve - resulting in court delays
Recommendation:Approve Public Defender to hire four additional attorneys
