28. EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY FOR PUBLIC FIDUCIARY CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17106B, transfer FY 2012-13 expenditure authority in the amount of $80,000 from Non-departmental (470) General Fund (100) Unreserved Contingency (4711) Non-Recurring (0001) to a new line entitled “Public Fiduciary One-Time Case Management” in Non-Departmental (470) General Fund (100) Other Programs (4712) Non-Recurring (0001). Also, Pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17106B, transfer FY 2012-13 expenditure authority in the amount of $20,000 from Non-departmental (470) General Fund (100) Unreserved Contingency (4711) Operating (0000) to a new line entitled “Public Fiduciary Operating Case Management” in Non-Departmental (470) General Fund (100) Other Programs (4712) Operating (0000). The purpose of the transfers is to ensure funding is available for the replacement of the existing case management system for the Office of the Public Fiduciary. New court rules for conservatorship inventories and accountings began to go into effect on September 1, 2012. The existing case management system for the Office of the Public Fiduciary is not capable of generating the newly required documents. A replacement accounting and case management system is required to be in place by May 1, 2013 in order for the Office to comply with the new rules. The department is working with the Office of Enterprise Technology to identify possible replacement systems that may meet departmental needs. Current information indicates that procurement of a replacement system should be possible for less than $100,000 for FY 2012-13. Therefore, the department requests that this amount be set aside for this purpose. Once a replacement system is identified and cost estimates are finalized, further Board action will be requested to approve the funding and authorize the procurement. (C-56-13-004-2-00)
