7. EXCEPTION TO THE TECHNOLOGY FINANCE PROGRAM FOR CLERK OF THE COURT Approve exceptions to the Technology Finance Program (TFP) for applicable equipment items and their related components acquired outright by the Clerk of the Superior Court (160) during FY 2008-09. Technology acquired for eFiling / Electronic Court Record projects included servers, filing counter receipt printers, and scanner replacements. Approval is necessary because one-time use of special revenue funds requires one-time purchases. The Board has previously approved technology funding for various eFiling / Electronic Court Record projects. As directed in the Budgeting for Results Memo 09-07, Hiring and Capital Freeze Continuation, the Clerk’s Office requested and received exemption from the freeze policy to purchase the equipment. This action is necessary to ensure alignment and compliance with new policies concerning procurement of equipment and technology. (C-16-09-009-M-00)
