Minutes Law & Justice Committee March 3, 2014 2.1 provide a presentation on Court Technology and staffing needs for the Twenty Second Judicial Circuit. 1. Court Technology and Staffing In 2007 a contract was entered into with Integrated Software Specialists to replace the Sustain case management system that was being used by the Circuit Clerk. In 2009, the Integrated Court Information System (ICIS) went live. In 2010, the probation department received ICIS-R2 to replace their existing Prober system and in 2012, the Office of Special Projects received the McHenry County Specialty Court Information System. Since 2011, the New Dawn Technology project for the State's Attorney and Public Defender's office has been moving forward. The vision was to integrate information so each unit of government could access documents pertinent to their portion of this information. This part of the process is slow so they can solve any access issues with this system. They don t want information to be released to those that should not be granted said access. Right now, this is more about getting the judges electronic access to this information. The Clerk s office has been able to automate assessments, automate fee scheduling, provides statistical reporting, document management integration, payment disbursement and office automation. This automation has resulted in a reduction of 8.25 Full Time equivalent positions. This has resulting in a savings of $200,104 in salaries. This does not include the savings of benefit costs for these positions. The Probation department has search capabilities in the Case Management System and is able to generate internal notifications. They can create statistical data analysis, receive automatic notification from the courtroom when someone is placed on some form of supervision, Document Management and is integrated with the Clerk s Office. The Office of Special Projects has access to the Case Management System, can obtain automated status reports, can access statistical information, can receive automated email notification when certain events occur and access to document management. Mr. Wallis stated it is important that individuals have public trust and confidence in the Judiciary. In order to do this there are Trial Court Performance Standards that were created by the National Center for State Courts. The Illinois Supreme Court has also been moving forward with their Electronic Initiatives. In September of 2002 they allowed electronic access to records. In December 2006, they allowed electronic guilty pleas, electronic filing in January 2012 and Electronic records in 2013. Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Mar 3, 2014 8:15 AM (Minutes Approval) The E-Initiative provides maximum access to court records, supports the role of the judiciary, promotes governmental accountability, contributes to public safety, makes the most effective use of the courts and clerks time and provides for excellent customer service. The Twenty Second Judicial Circuit is currently in a state of in between paper files and e- Records. Presently the Clerk of the Court has 9,331 banker boxes of records in storage. This translates to an annual cost of $59,625.09 per year for storage. Every year an average of 780 banker boxes are added to storage increasing the cost by $4,984.20 per year. The Circuit Clerk s office handles, manages, files and scans approximately 550,000 documents each year. At a cost of 58 cents per page, this equate to an annual cost of $319,000. McHenry County Page 4 Updated 3/5/2014 12:04 PM Packet Pg. 6
Minutes Law & Justice Committee March 3, 2014 2.1 If the court continues to accept paper filings at an estimated cost of.22 cents per page or an annual cost of $121,000 a cost reduction of $198,000 was realized in the first year of implementation. By averaging the amount of time spent filing documents is case folders, it is estimated that nearly 4,616 hours in manpower can be saved yearly. This translates into lower employee costs. Before the electronic records become the official record, judges must be provided the equipment, software and infrastructure to enable efficient and reliable access to relevant data. The missing piece is a judicial user interface that allows for paper on demand. They must be able to access a replicated ICIS database, allow judges to access information the way they want to see it provide searchable text, configurable to the individual judges and is easy to use. This is a major change in the culture of the courts. Paper has been around since the beginning. Many judges rely on volumes of case files to manage their court calls. Judges are comfortable with paper files. It is important to keep in mind that any electronic system that is developed must meet or exceed the efficiencies of conventional paper files; technology for technology sake is of little value. In order to succeed, there needs to be collaboration with the Circuit Clerk, use of the automation fund to cover the costs associated with technology and add a business analysis position for the Court. This position would not cost anything to the General Fund. This position would be created to provide first line technical support for the judges. They would be responsible for all court technology support, project management, work with the Circuit Clerk and IT departments, as well as provide training and office automation. They propose that during the April Law and Justice Committee meeting they continue to explore options regarding funding for the Business Analyst position and begin the bidding process for the judicial interface. Committee members questioned if this system would provide any document accessibility for the public. Committee members were informed that this is about creating more accessibility for those that are professionally involved in the system. This is more about getting the judges electronically accessible information. Until they solve all access issues, the information would not be accessible to the public. 5. OLD BUSINESS None. Committee members thanked Mr. Wallis and Judge Sullivan for their presentation. Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Mar 3, 2014 8:15 AM (Minutes Approval) 6. REPORTS Mr. Austin informed committee members that he did not intend to be here this morning as he was in Washington DC. Because of the inclement weather, he came back early. He informed committee members that he would provide an update regarding the Federal Jail contract at tomorrow's County Board meeting. Committee members questioned if any additional information has been brought forward regarding the Branch Court in McHenry. Committee members were informed there are still questions they are waiting for answers on so they have not made a decision on this issue. As of right now, they do not expect a change to the use of branch court. They will continue with a review of the liability issues at this facility.

Minutes Law & Justice Committee March 3, 2014 2.1 Chairman Draffkorn noted that she has been asked by a number of County Board members for an annual report for the State's Attorney's office. Committee members questioned what they would like to see in a report. It was stated that the Kane County State's Attorney provides a very informative report yearly and suggested something similar for this office. Committee members were reminded that updates for each of the departments are usually presented during the annual budget reviews. These updates include goals and measurements within each of the departments. Chairman Draffkorn noted that she will find out what would be expected in this report. Mr. Labaj noted that the external auditor provides information on case law on an annual basis if anyone is interested in this information. 7. MEMBER COMMENTS / FUTURE TOPICS None. 8. EXECUTIVE SESSION (AS NECESSARY) None. 9. ADJOURNMENT Noting no further business by the committee, Mr. Gottemoller made a motion, seconded by Ms. Barnes to adjourn the meeting at 9:26 AM.
