DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND CIRCUIT COURT/FRIEND OF THE COURT – IMPLEMENTATION OF MICHIGAN CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM This Resolution authorizes implementation of the Michigan Child Support Enforcement System (MICSES) in Oakland County. This is a federally mandated program, which requires the State to operate and support one statewide child support enforcement system. The Oakland County Department of Information Technology (IT) will provide a Citrix application host and associated browser based applications to accom modate the State CSES. These applications would operate independently from the State CSES, but with a loss of current imaging workflow functionality at the FOC. The estimated cost of the proposal is $1,225,000. The cost will be borne out of the Friend o f the Court Cooperative Reimbursement Program, which shares costs between the State and counties (2/3 State and 1/3 County).

This transfer will aid in the success of implementing the MICSES in the Oakland County FOC by centralizing supervisory and administrative control for accounting and banking functions related to child support enforcement under the Circuit Court. Under this Resolution, the County Executive recommends re-designation of the Friend of the Court Fund from General Fund/General Purpose to Special Revenue, which would more accurately reflect the source of funding as Intergovernmental Revenue.
