Agenda 09/26/2017 Item #16F409/26/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize budget amendments totaling $23,000 that will provide 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 revenues are anticipated to
be $23,000 short of projected expenses, with those variances split among the following agencies:
Agency Fund # Projected Shortage
Teen Court 171 $ 5,200
Law Library 640 $ 6,200
Legal Aid Society 652 $ 5,500
Court Innovations (Public Guardianship) 192 $ 6,100
Total $23,000
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are available from existing General Fund (001) appropriations. Each of the
above Funds will reduce their revenues and establish a transfer from the General Fund. The overall fund
balance of each of these funds will not change.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
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
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners authorize budget amendments to
provide funding from the General Fund (001) reserves to cover revenue shortfalls as identified by the
chart in this Executive Summary.
