RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning the Transition of the Escambia County Law Library Fiscal Operations to Court Administration, First Judicial Circuit - Will Moore, Chief Deputy Court Administrator
That the Board take the following action concerning the transition of the Escambia County Law Library to Court Administration, First Judicial Circuit:
A. Authorize the transition of fiscal operations, which currently consists of management by the Law Library Board and subsequent County reimbursement of expenses, to become a part of the Escambia County budget process under the direction of Court Administration; and
B. Authorize the creation of two Law Library Article V funded positions: a full-time Law Librarian position at the rate of $32,344 annual base salary plus benefits $13,948 = $46,292, and a part-time Law Librarian position at the rate of $15 per hour, per the provided job descriptions.
The funding source for the Law Library already exists through 25% of the $65 Article V Court Fee. This transition will not impact the General Revenue Fund.
[Funding: Fund 115, Law Library Article V Local Option, Cost Center 410701]
BACKGROUND:
Currently, the Escambia County Law Library is under the management of the Law Library Board and all expenses are reimbursed by Escambia County. A shift to the county budget process under the direction of Court Administration would provide continuity across the circuit.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
The funding source for the Law Library already exists. This transition will not impact the General Revenue Fund.
