WHEREAS the Act requires the Chief Judge of the Circuit Court and Chief Judge
of the Probate Court develop an agreement establishing a plan for operation of the
Family Division by July 1, 1997; and
WHEREAS given the limited time period provided by the Act for development of
the plan and implementation of the Family Division and the associated management and
staff time required to engage in these efforts, utilization of a Family Division
Coordinator will enhance the Circuit Court's, Probate Court's and other affected
offices' ability to meet the procedural requirements of the Act in an acceptable
time frame; and
WHEREAS the Family Division Coordinator will assist the Chief Judges of the
Circuit and Probate Courts, and each court's respective management teams, in
developing recommendations for new court rules and changes to existing court rules
to accommodate implementation, analyze caseload data from each court to determine
the appropriate number of judges to be transferred into the Family Division, develop
caseflow patterns and mechanisms to ensure timely disposition of cases under
jurisdiction of the Family Division, assist in determining the appropriate resources
to aid Family Division judges in docket management and to ensure the needs of
litigants and clients are properly addressed, develop recommendations regarding the
operation and administration of the Family Division, and provide other assistance
as determined necessary; and
WHEREAS the cost to obtain the services of a Family Division Coordinator are
estimated to be $28.50 per hour and not to exceed $29,000 for a six month term
beginning February 1, 1997.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners authorize Circuit
Court to enter into a professional services contract with a Family Division
Coordinator for the purpose of assisting the chief judges of the Circuit and Probate

implementation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Circuit Court's budget be amended to include
