1 Performance Measure and Corrective Action Plan Annual Report County Fiscal Year End (October 2009 through September 2010) Section 28.35(2)(d) Florida Statutes December 2010
2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Florida Statutes requires the Clerk of Court Operations Corporation (CCOC) to develop a uniform system of performance measures and applicable performance standards for the Clerks court-related functions listed in s (2)(d), F.S. These measures and standards shall be designed to facilitate an objective determination of the performance of each clerk in accordance with minimum standards for fiscal management, operational efficiency, and effective collection of fines, fees, service charges, and court costs. When the corporation finds a clerk has not met the performance standards, the corporation shall identify the nature of each deficiency and any corrective action recommended and taken by the affected clerk of the court. The corporation shall notify the Legislature and the Supreme Court of any clerk not meeting performance standards and provide a copy of any corrective action plans. The CCOC developed four (4) performance standards including; collection rate, timeliness for filing new cases and docketing court decisions, processing jury payments, and fiscal management reporting. (See specific performance sections for definitions and standards.) During County Fiscal Year Clerks required at least one corrective action plan (CAP). As shown in Table 1 below most Clerk offices (91%) required a CAP for collections and a little more than half (53.7%) of the Clerk offices required a CAP for not filing cases or docketing court records timely, and about 20% required a CAP for not paying jurors timely. In contrast, Clerk offices did not require a CAP for fiscal management reports. It appears that in the last quarter of the year when Clerks took a significant cutback it impacted their ability to meet performance standards.

FM Standard#5: Clerks/Counties have an accounting system that provides monthly and YTD expenditures by criminal and civil courts and budget categories. FM Standard #6: Clerks/Counties have a system that produces CCOC required data and information in support of budget submission requirements as established by the CCOC, including accounting data breakouts (expenditures, revenues, reserves) by budget categories/uas codes; an expenditure and revenue projection system/methodology; an FTE count and distribution methodology for calculating administrative/article V costs; a performance measurement collection and analysis system and a unit costing capacity (divide output measurements into expenditures). FM Standard #7: The last required excess fee payment pursuant to s (4), F.S. was submitted timely. FM Standard #8: Required monthly expenditure and revenue reports to the CCOC were produced timely and according to instructions. FM Standard #9: the last required Article V budget submission to the CCOC was complete and submitted according to instructions
5 Fiscal Year Annual Performance As shown in Table 2, during county fiscal year , the Clerk offices completed 668 CAPs or about 8% of the potential CAPs that could were required. Most (16%) of the required CAPs were because Clerks did not meet collection standards. Less than 10% of the required CAPs were for not meeting timeliness and juror payment timeliness standards. More information for the performance categories are detailed below. Table 2 Totals Corrective Action Plan Activity FY Collections Timeliness1 Timeliness2 Juror Payment Processing Fiscal Management Reporting Totals Potential CAPs Number of CAPS required Percentage 16% 4.2% 5.6% 6.7% 100% 8.24% COLLECTIONS The collections performance is a summary of four quarters beginning October 1, 2008 and ending September 30, The control group data reported during these periods began being collected October 1, The structure of the quarters is shown below.

The table also shows that at the end of the fiscal year most (29+17=46) of the clerk offices met between 80%-90% (7 to 8 court divisions) collection standards. Table 3 Collections - Number of Clerk Offices Meeting Standards: QUARTER 100% (9 of 9) 90% (8 of 9) 80% (7 of 9) 70% (6 of 9) 60% or below (more than 6 Q Q Q Q
6 As shown in Table 4, the Criminal Court saw an increase in the number of CAPs from the beginning of the fiscal year to the end of the fiscal year (50 to 59). In contrast, the Civil Court saw a decrease in the number of CAPs for the same time period (8 to 3) and Civil Traffic remained relatively constant (39-38). Most of the criminal CAPs were required for circuit felony division followed by county misdemeanor division. Clerks attributed their performance to four primary reasons: (1) the economy, (2) incarcerations, (3) technology issues, and (4) layoffs.

7 TIMELINESS There are two types of timeliness performance measures reported percentage of new cases opened within x business days after initial documents are clocked in; and dockets entered within x business days after court action taken. During fiscal year timeliness performance standards were reported semi-annually (October 2008 through March 2009 and April 2009 through September 2009). Beginning with October 2009, timeliness was reported quarterly. As shown in Table 5, the number of Clerk offices that met the new case filing timeliness standard for all court divisions (100%=10 of 10) increased from the beginning of the fiscal year to the end of the fiscal year (37 to 48). The table also shows that at the end of the fiscal year most of the clerk offices met 90% (9 to 10 court divisions). Table 5 Timeliness #1 Number of Clerk Offices Meeting Filing Standard FY % (10 of 10) 90% (9 of 10) 80% (8 of 10) 70% (7 of 10) 60% or below (more than 7) Q n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a Q Q Q As shown in Table 6, the Criminal Court saw an increase in the number of CAPs from the beginning of the fiscal year to the end of the fiscal year (10 to 14). In contrast the Civil Court and the Civil Traffic Court s saw a decrease in the number of CAPs from the beginning of the fiscal year to the end of the fiscal year (27 to 17) and (6 to 3) respectively. Clerks attributed their performance to staffing layoffs, reassigning of staff to meet the increase volume of mortgage foreclosures, and training.

The table however also shows that there has not been much changed in the number of Clerk offices improving or increasing the number of court divisions that are docketed timely.

9 JURY PAYMENTS PROCESSED Civil Traffic FY Traffic Q n/a Q Q Q Juror payments processed standard is the number of jurors that are paid timely for their jury service. The standard to meet Chapter Florida Statutes and/or Rules of Judicial Administration requires that jurors be paid within 20 days after completion of jury service. The juror payment activity is reported semi-annually. As shown in Table 9, the number of Clerk offices that met the standard increased from 57 to 63. Table 9 Total Number of Clerks processing juror payments timely FY0910 Number of clerks meeting the 100% standard Percentage of clerks meeting 100% standard Q n/a n/a Q % Q % Q % The number of juror payments issued in CFY was 227,977; the number issued timely was 226,345 or 99.3%. There were three major responses cited by clerks for not meeting the performance standards (1) staffing, (2) juror laye pay requests, and (3) technology issues. FISCAL MANAGEMENT Fiscal Management standards are reported by May 30 of each year for the Clerk s previous fiscal year (October through September 30). There are eight (8) fiscal management reports that are measured and Clerks certify which of the nine reports they met during the specified fiscal year. The fiscal management performance standard reported during this fiscal year is or fiscal management reports completed during fiscal year This one-year lag is due to the primary reporting item is the county s audited financial report, which takes additional time to complete external audit - in comparison to the other FM items.
