FISCAL NOTE (1ISC. #06170) September 21, 2006
BY: Finance Committee, LlAuck Moss, Chairperson
IN RE: 52ND DISTRICT COURT, DIVISION I - FISCAL YEAR 2007 MICHIGAN SOBRIETY COURT
FEE INCREASE AND CREATION OF PROBATION OFFICER I POSITION
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XII-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed the
above referenced resolution and finds:
1. Per Miscellaneous Resolution #01042, the Board of Commissioners
authorized the establishment of two Probation Officer II positions
(#3020205-09904 and 009905) to be responsible for the case management of
offenders participating in the Sobriety Court. These positions are
currently funded by revenue generated by a Sobriety Court fee of $130 per
case.
2. In addition, the cost for one (1) Probation Officer I position (#3020205-
09903) was supported SCAO grant funding, but is scheduled to expire as of
September 30, 2006.
3. The District Court is proposing to delete the Probation Officer I
position (#3020205-09903), and recreate it as a General Fund position.
4. To support the continuation of the two (2) Probation Officer II positions
and one (1) Probation Officer I position in a cost effective manner, the
Court is proposing to raise the Sobriety Court Fee from $130 to $240, to
be imposed on all offenders convicted of drinking and driving related
charges, effective October 1, 2006 and are contingent upon continued
collection of Sobriety Court Fee revenues in excess of the cost of the
positions.
5. The Sobriety Court Fee assessment is estimated to generate approximately
$228,000 of revenue per fiscal year (1,000 cases at $240 per case, with a
95% collection rate). Revenue may exceed the cost of positions to cover
annual general salary increases.
6. The annual cost of salary and fringes for the three positions is
$215,916.
7. The following budget amendment is recommended to the FY 2007 and FY 2008
budgets:
