Miscellaneous Resolution # 98021
BY: Commissioner Shelley Taub, Dan Devine, Jr., John McCulloch
IN RE: Jury Information Conversion for District Courts
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chair, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the 46th District court has received their jurors' information from Oakland
County's Jury Commission via tape for approximately 15 years and that under current
procedures, this Court has been provided multiple tapes that, upon receipt, must be merged; and
WHEREAS under this present mode of operation, the 46th District Court has received as
many as eight tapes which they must turn around and merge into one tape; and
WHEREAS the 48th District Court currently receives its jurors' information in manual
form; and
WHEREAS the 48th District Court is moving to an automated system and now needs
their jury information on computer tape; and
WHEREAS the 48th District Courts new automated jury system will be the same as the
46th District Court's system; and
WHEREAS both the 46th and 48th District Courts are requesting to have the jury
information supplied to them on one tape instead of multiple tapes; and
WHEREAS providing the information on one tape will simplify the process and reduce
the costs for multiple tapes, handling and processing; and
WHEREAS, in the future, it is believed that other district courts will also be interested in
receiving their jurors' information on one tape; and
WHEREAS Oakland County's Information Technology Department has advised that the
cost for this conversion will be $1,500.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby appropriate $1,500 to handle the jury information conversion from
manual and multiple tapes to one tape for the 46th and 48th District Courts.
