funding for various agencies within the Courts System to cover Article V revenue shortfall
for the balance of FY 2017.
________________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: Obtain Board authorization for budget amendments that provide cash from the General
Fund (001) reserves to assist in covering the shortfall of Article V revenues the Courts are experiencing
during the current fiscal year.
CONSIDERATIONS: Section 939.185, Florida Statutes, allows each county to adopt a county
ordinance assessing additional court costs not to exceed $65 under Article V of the Florida Constitution.
Collier County adopted Ordinance No. 04-42 on June 22, 2004. This ordinance established the programs
and their respective percentages they are to receive from these revenues. The revenues have declined
over the year with the budgets being limited as well. Current year projected revenue s are anticipated to
be $70,300 short of projected expenses, with those variances split among the following agencies:
Agency Fund # Projected Shortage
Teen Court 171 $ 15,600
Law Library 640 $ 17,300
Legal Aid Society 652 $ 12,300
Court Innovations (Public Guardianship) 192 $ 25,100
Total $70,300

above Funds will reduce their revenues and establish a transfer from the General Fund. T he overall fund
balance of each of these funds will not change.

request.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to
form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
