18. TRANSFER EXPENDITURE APPROPRIATION FOR JUSTICE COURTS TEMPORARY CLERK POOL Pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17106, transfer FY 2008-09 expenditure appropriation of $466,440 from the Non-Departmental (470) Non-Departmental Grants Fund (249) Non-Recurring (0001) Potential Expenditures from Fund Balance line to Justice Courts (240) Justice Courts Special Revenue Fund (245) Non-Recurring (0001). Also, reduce the FY 2008-09 Non-Departmental (470) Non-Departmental Grants Fund (249) Non-Recurring (0001) revenue appropriation by $466,440. Approval of this action will support Justice Courts staffing of a temporary clerk pool through the use of a one-time expenditure from fund balance. Temporary staff will be used to assist in the start-up of the newly-created Highland and Desert Ridge courts for the first 180 days of operation. This authorization is required to pay for the usage of temporary staff from the Justice Courts Special Revenue Fund (245). The temporary staff is only needed for a period of 180 days in order to bring two new Justice Courts online, and as such will not be part of the department’s FTE count. The temporary clerks will be hired through an outside contract agency. (C-24-09-007-M-00)
