INTRODUCTION The Honorable Richard Weiss, Chair of the Executive Council for the Clerks of Court Operations Corporation (CCOC) directed CCOC staff to conduct a review of all reports currently submitted to the CCOC from the local clerks of the circuit court. On August 13, 2011, Mr. Weiss wrote to all clerks regarding this review and outlined the goal of the review. A copy of this letter is provided as Attachment A. Specifically, the goal is to review the list of reports and/or data currently required to be sent from Clerks to the CCOC and make recommendations on any that can be eliminated, revised, and/or obtained from other centralized systems (for example CCIS) to help create less workload for each Clerk s office. 1 This report is submitted to meet the specific goal outlined by Mr. Weiss. Prior to addressing this goal, a summary of changes in the reporting requirements from SFY 2010-11 to SFY 2011-12 and a description of the collaborative process utilized for the development of this report are provided. CHANGES IN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FROM SFY 2010-11 TO SFY 2011-12 Chapter 2009-61, Florida Laws, provides, Until July 1, 2011, each clerk shall submit a summary of all new hardware and software purchases in excess of $25,000 to the Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation on a monthly basis. 2 This reporting requirement was operationalized through the use of the CCOC Technology Expense (TE) Report. A copy of the TE report is provided as Attachment B. Given the Legislature did not renew this reporting requirement during the 2011 Regular Legislative session, the TE report will no longer be required to be submitted during SFY 2011-12. Chapter 2010-162, Florida Laws, provides, The sum of $3,600,000 of nonrecurring funds from the Clerks of Court Trust Fund is appropriated to the Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation to be distributed to the clerks of court for workload associated with foreclosure and economic recovery. 3 As part of the implementation of this appropriation, the Foreclosure Expenditure and Case Disposition Report was established. A copy of this report is provided as Attachment C. Since the foreclosure funds were nonrecurring and not appropriated for SFY 2011-12, the associated foreclosure report is also no longer necessary. The discontinued use of these two reports was approved by the Finance and Budget Committee at their July 28, 2011, meeting. The elimination of these two reports reduced the total number of CCOC report from 12 to 10. This represents a 17 percent reduction in the number of reports necessary for SFY 2011-12 compared to SFY 2010-11. COLLABORATIVE PROCESS As CCOC staff initiated the review as directed by Mr. Weiss, conscious efforts were taken to engage in a collaborative process between the relevant stakeholders. Stakeholders contacted for 1 Weiss, Richard. Letter to Florida Clerks of the Circuit Court. 13 Aug. 2011. 2 Ch. 2009-61, 19, at 17, Laws of Fla. (2009). 3 Ch. 2010-162, 40, at 30, Laws of Fla.

input include the local 67 clerks, Florida Association of Court Clerks and Comptrollers, Department of Revenue, Office of Economic and Demographic Research, Governor s Office, Legislative staff, Office of the State Courts Administrator, Department of Financial Services, Auditor General, Justice Administrative Commission, and others. Among other email and telephonic communications associated with this collaborative process is the August 22, 2011, email from John Dew provided as Attachment D. The information contained in this report was developed with this spirit of collaboration at the forefront of our efforts. Thanks to all those whose cooperation was instrumental to the development of the information contained in this report. CURRENT LIST OF REPORTS A list of the CCOC reports required for SFY 2011-12 is provided below. Included under each report is a summary of the history of the report and a summary of any stakeholder input related to the report. Where applicable, samples of the current reporting forms are provided as attachments. Collections Report The collection report (see sample as Attachment E) is an outcomes report developed and certified by the CCOC Executive Council as part of the uniform system of performance measures and applicable performance standards required under section 28.35(2)(d), Florida Statutes. 4 (A copy of chapter 28.35, Florida Statutes is provided as Attachment F.) The report was approved for use during the county fiscal year 2005-06 and has been in continuous use since that fiscal year. The report is submitted on a quarterly basis. Timeliness Report The timeliness report (see sample as Attachment G) is an outcomes report developed and certified by the CCOC Executive Council as part of the uniform system of performance measures and applicable performance standards required under section 28.35(2)(d), Florida Statutes. 5 The report was approved for use during the county fiscal year 2005-06 and has been in continuous use since that fiscal year. The report is currently submitted on a quarterly basis but has also been submitted on a semi-annual basis in previous years. A suggestion to reduce local clerk workload was received regarding the timeliness report from a local clerk staff member. Specifically, the suggestion was to return to a semi-annual submission for the timeliness report. The local clerk staff member indicated this change would reduce staff time required to Q/A the data contained in the reports and prepare Corrective Action plans. 6 Jurors Report The jurors report (see sample as Attachment H) is an outcomes report developed and certified by the CCOC Executive Council as part of the uniform system of performance measures and 4 28.35(2)(d), Fla. Stat. (2011). 5 Ibid. 6 "Response to August 13th Letter from CCOC Chairman Weiss." Message to John Dew. 19 Sept. 2011. E-mail. 4 P age

applicable performance standards required under section 28.35(2)(d), Florida Statutes. 7 The report was approved for use during the county fiscal year 2007-08 and has been in continuous use since that fiscal year. The report is currently submitted on a quarterly basis but has also been submitted on a semi-annual basis in previous years. A suggestion to reduce local clerk workload was received regarding the jurors report from a local clerk staff member. Specifically, the suggestion was to return to a semi-annual submission for the jurors report. The local clerk staff member indicated this change would reduce staff time required to Q/A the data contained in the reports and prepare Corrective Action plans. 8 Cases (Outputs) Report The cases (outputs) report (see sample as Attachment I) is an outputs report developed and certified by the CCOC Executive Council as part of the uniform system of performance measures and applicable performance standards required under section 28.35(2)(d), Florida Statutes. 9 The report was approved for use during the county fiscal year 2004-05 and has been in continuous use since that fiscal year. The report is currently submitted on a monthly basis but has also been submitted on a quarterly and semi-annual basis in previous years. The cases report has taken on significant importance since the change to unit costing in state fiscal year 2009-10. Both the cases and reopens data submitted in the cases report have been defined as part of the service units as referenced in section 28.36(4), Florida Statute. 10 An additional service unit, prior year clerk activity was added in SFY 2010-11. The data for this service unit is captured as part of the budgeting process and is not reported on the cases report. In addition to the use of the cases and reopens data in the unit costing efforts, this data is also utilized in the estimating of revenues. The cases data serves as a lead indicator for current and future revenues. Financial Receipts Financial receipts represents an outputs report developed and certified by the CCOC Executive Council as part of the uniform system of performance measures and applicable performance standards required under section 28.35(2)(d), Florida Statutes. 11 The data is collected as part of the cases (outputs) report and was approved for use during the county fiscal year 2007-08 and has been in continuous use since that fiscal year. The purpose of this report is to help explain o the Legislature and the public the workload clerks handle each year. The data is submitted on an annual basis. Fiscal Management Report The fiscal management report (see sample as Attachment J) is an outcomes report developed and certified by the CCOC Executive Council as part of the uniform system of performance measures and applicable performance standards required under section 28.35(2)(d), Florida Statutes. 12 The 7 Ibid., p. 4. 8 Ibid., p. 4. 9 Ibid., p. 4. 10 28.36(4), Fla. Stat. (2011). 11 Ibid., p.4. 12 Ibid., p.4. 5 P age

report was approved for use during the county fiscal year 2006-07 and has been in continuous use since that fiscal year. The report is submitted on an annual basis. Corrective Action Plans Corrective action plans (CAP) (see sample as Attachment K) are developed and certified by the CCOC Executive Council as part of the uniform system of performance measures and applicable performance standards required under section 28.35(2)(d), Florida Statutes. 13 The plans were approved for use during the county fiscal year 2006-07 and have been in continuous use since that fiscal year. The plans are submitted as needed on a quarterly basis. A number of possible administrative changes related to the CAP have been discussed internally among CCOC staff. These possible administrative changes would reduce the number of CAP issues and therefore reduce workload for local clerk staff. These administrative changes would require approval by the CCOC Executive Council and in some cases may require consultation with the Legislature and the Supreme Court per section 28.35(2)(d). Summary for these possible administrative changes are listed below. 1) Rounding Percentages Currently, CAP are issued even if the performance rate is within.5 percent of the standard. For example, if the standard is 90 percent and a county s performance rate is 89.5 percent, a CAP will be issued. One possible administrative change would be to allow for rounding percentages to the whole number. Therefore, in the example provided a performance rate of 89.5 percent would be rounded to 90 percent and a CAP would not be issued. By rounding percentages in this fashion, the number of CAP issued would be reduced. For example, in one quarter in SFY 2010-11 this administrative change would have reduced the number of CAP issued by 16. 2) Decrease Civil Traffic Collection Standard The current standard for civil traffic collection is 90 percent. When originally established, there was insufficient data to determine the effectiveness of this standard. Now that ample historic data is available, it is apparent this standard may not be viable. Decreasing the standard from 90 percent to 85 percent would both provide for a more realistic goal for clerks to strive toward and would reduce the number of ineffective CAP. 3) Eliminate Prisoner Cases from Circuit Criminal Collections Currently, the measure of performance in the collections of assessments for the Circuit Criminal division includes assessments for defendants sentenced to prison. These prison sentences can easily exceed the five quarter (i.e., 15 month) period used to measure performance. Since the collection of an assessment against a defendant in prison may not be a valid measure of performance, one possible administrative change would be to eliminate the assessments against these prisoner cases from the pool against which performance is measured. This change would not only generate a more valid measure of performance but would also reduce the number of unnecessary CAP given the adjustment to the denominator (i.e., assessments) in the calculation of performance rate for the Circuit Criminal division. 13 Ibid., p. 4. 6 P age

Budgets 4) Change CAP Issuance Schedule Currently, CAP are issued on a quarterly schedule for all noncompliance with collections, timeliness, and juror performance standards. Some consideration may be given to changing the issuance of these CAP to a semi-annual or annual basis. While this change alone may reduce the number of CAP issued, the total number of items to address via the CAP over the course of a year may remain the same. While not technically a report, budgets are required to be prepare, summarized, and submitted by each clerk in a manner and form prescribed by the corporation as outlined in section 28.36(1), Florida Statutes. 14 Budget forms were approved for use during the county fiscal year 2004-05 and have been in continuous use since that fiscal year. Budgets are submitted on an annual basis. Recent efforts have been made to reduce the dependence on the use of cumbersome Excel forms, reduce unnecessary calculations, and eliminate redundant data entry with regard to the SFY 2012-13 budget forms. In some regards these efforts have been successful, but additional work is needed in this regard. Expenditure and Collections Report The expenditure and collections report (see sample as Attachment L) is both an outputs report developed and certified by the CCOC Executive Council as part of the uniform system of performance measures and applicable performance standards required under section 28.35(2)(d), Florida Statutes and a means to collect the basic data for the corporation to fulfill its obligation under section 28.36(6), Florida Statute. 15 The report was originally known as the revenue and expenditure report. The original revenue and expenditure report was approved for use during the county fiscal year 2004-05. The report changed to the expenditure and collections report during state fiscal year 2009-10 due to statutorily mandated budgetary changes. The report is currently submitted on a monthly basis. Chapter 2008-111 (New Revenues) Report The chapter 2008-111 or new revenues report (see sample as Attachment M) captures data associated with increases in certain fines, fees, service charges, and/or court costs delineated in chapter 2008-111, Florida Laws. The report form was originally approved by the CCOC Executive Council on September 17, 2008 as part of the CCOC s contractual requirements with the Department of Financial Services. The form was subsequently amended to reduce the number of items required for local clerks to report. The report is currently submitted on a monthly basis but has also been submitted on a quarterly basis in previous years. There is currently no statutory or contractual requirement for the CCOC to collect the chapter 2008-111 report. However, based on correspondence with staff at both the Office of Economic and Demographic Research and the Governor s Office, the data collected in this report is helpful in the revenue forecasting efforts. 14 28.36(1), Fla. Stat. (2011). 15 Ibid., p. 4. 7 P age

USE OF CENTRALIZED SYSTEMS Based on the August 13 letter from Mr. Weiss (see Attachment A), CCOC staff sought input to determine if data captured in a number of centralized systems could provide a valid and reliable alternative to the data collected via the CCOC reports. A summary of this input and related issues is provided below. The systems included below should not be considered an all-inclusive list. Comprehensive Case Information System CCOC staff contacted staff with the Florida Association of Court Clerks and Comptrollers (FACC) to determine if the data in the Comprehensive Case Information System (CCIS) could provide a valid and reliable alternative to data collected via any CCOC reports. An initial staff meeting occurred on September 29, 2011. Based on this initial meeting, FACC staff agreed to review and/or update a previously developed FACC report related to the use of CCIS as a data source for the CCOC. FACC is continuing to update the FACC report, the issue was discussed by the appropriate FACC committee during their November 3, 2011 meeting. During these discussions, the FACC committee confirmed CCIS does not capture detailed data on timeliness and financial data. Issues related to data associated with other performance measure are under review with the FACC workgroup. The FACC committee suggested FACC staff will begin an effort to compare the CCIS cases data to the cases data provided to the CCOC from clerks and FACC staff will follow-up to address any issues with the CCIS data. Based on the FACC committee discussions, CCIS may be a system that could be used in the future for case data. 16 Clerk of Court Revenue Remittance System Based on input from David Ellspermann, Marion County Clerk of the Circuit Court and local clerk staff, CCOC staff contacted staff with both the FACC and Department of Revenue (DOR) to determine if additional lines could be added to the Clerk of Court Revenue Remittance System to collect the data reported in the chapter 2008-111 report. Collecting the data via these additional lines would eliminate the need for the chapter 2008-111 report while still providing the data for use in revenue forecasting efforts as described above. Based on input from staff with the DOR, it currently appears unfeasible to add these additional lines to the Clerk of Court Revenue Remittance System. However, the addition of these lines should be further pursued in the months that follow. Additionally, some consideration was given to using the data on the Clerk of Court Revenue Remittance System as an alternative to the data collected via the CCOC Expenditure and Collections report. However, after consideration it was determined the data in the Clerk of Court Revenue Remittance System does not provide a valid and reliable alternative to the data reported in the CCOC Expenditure and Collections report. Reasons for this conclusion include: 16 "CCIS and Report." Message from John Dew. 7 Nov. 2011. E-mail. 8 P age

1. The data captured in the Clerk of Court Revenue Remittance System is not all-inclusive of the data captured in the CCOC Expenditure and Collections report. Therefore, either some version of the CCOC Expenditure and Collections report would need to continue to be reported or a significant lose in data would be necessary. 2. Data currently captured in the CCOC Expenditure and Collections report serves as an indispensible resource in reconciliation efforts guaranteeing proper remittances into the Clerks of Court Trust Fund. Without the collections data reported via the CCOC Expenditure and Collections report, this reconciliation effort would not be possible. Other Centralized Systems There are additional centralized systems currently utilizing data provided by the clerks. These centralized systems include the Offender Based Tracking System (OBTS), the Summary Reporting System (SRS), the Judicial Inquiry System (JIS), the Traffic Citation Accounting Transmittal System (TCATS), and numerous other systems. To adequately determine if any of the data contained in these other centralized systems could provide a valid and reliable alternative to the data collected via the CCOC reports will require a more thorough review with input from clerks and clerk staff. SUMMARIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS As per directions from Mr. Weiss, CCOC staff has developed the following summaries and recommendations for consideration by the CCOC Executive Council. The summaries and recommendations focus on efforts to reduce the workload for each clerk s office. Summary/Recommendation One With the incorporation of changes in reporting brought about by the Finance and Budget Committee s July 28, 2011 decisions, each clerk s office has seen a 17 percent reduction in CCOC reporting requirements for SFY 2011-10 compared to SFY 2010-11. Summary/Recommendation Two Based on input from the FACC committee, CCIS data is not currently a valid and reliable alternative to any data collected via any CCOC reports. Summary/Recommendation Three Based on discussions with staff at the DOR and the FACC, it is currently not feasible to implement the suggestion from Mr. Ellspermann related to adding lines to the Clerk of Court Revenue Remittance System to collect the data currently reported in the chapter 2008-111 report. However, it is recommended the addition of these lines on the DOR website be pursued with DOR and FACC staff for implementation by SFY 2012-13. Summary/Recommendation Four Numerous administrative changes resulting in reduced workload on local clerks and local clerk staff associated with the Corrective Action Plans (CAP) are presented in this report. One administrative change would be to allow for rounding percentages to the whole number. Details regarding this change are provided in the section above. It is recommended this administrative 9 P age

change associated with rounding percentages to the whole number be adopted by the CCOC Executive Council. Summary/Recommendation Five The budget forms and instructions were redesigned in SFY 2012-13 to help reduce the dependence on the use of cumbersome Excel forms, reduce unnecessary calculations, and eliminate redundant data entry. While some gains in reducing clerk workload were achieved through the redesign of the forms, it is recommended additional improvements in the method and form of these budget forms be pursued. Summary/Recommendation Six In addition to the above recommendations, it is further recommended a workgroup of local clerk and CCOC staff be convened to both oversee the implementation of the above recommendations and to pursue the development of further options for reducing local clerk workload associated with CCOC reporting issues. 10 P age
