ATTACHMENT A
Agenda Item "B"
7/23/80
REASON:
Grant funding for the position will end on July 31, 1980.
During the past year, the number of persons added to ADC has increased
rapidly. On June 30, 1979 there were 11,338 persons serviced by the Friend
of the Court on ADC- In December, 1979 the number increased to 11,613
and on June 30, 1980 the number stood at 12,377. This represents an increase
• of 8.7% in one year.
Because the Friend of the Court enforces all child support cases on a non -
complaint basis there has been a rapid increase in the volume of warrants
outstanding. As of June 1, 1980, 4,097 warrants were outstanding as compared
to 3,621 on January 1, 1980. For the first six months of 1930, 2,022 new
warrants have been issued as compared to 1,561 for the same period . in 1979.
Since court costs are normally assessed at a rate between $50.00 and $100.00.
per arrest there is a cost recovery to the County for this service. In
1979, $42,917 in court costs was collected and returned to the County,
In addition, the Officer currently filling the position is a female, giving
additional flexibility to the Friend of the Court in processing arrest
warrants for the growing number of women responsible for making child
support payments.
The request to continue the Clerk III positions through September 30,
1980 is to meet a commitment to the remaining employees. in the program to
carry them through the scheduled termination date of the grant. The State
cannot keep its commitment and is forced to terminate the program July. 31,
1980.
