The Criminal Court Tower project involves the construction of a state-of–the-art 32 (22 fully constructed, 10 shelled out) courtroom facility, approximately 682,792 square feet, to be constructed on the site of the current Madison Street Parking Garage.

9. BUDGET BALANCING GUIDELINES Adopt the “Maricopa County Budgeting for Results Budget Balancing Guidelines” (hereinafter referred to as “the Guidelines”). The purpose of these budget balancing guidelines is to start the process of restoring the County budget to sustainable structural balance, and challenge judicial branch, elected, and appointed managers to collaboratively identify and implement structural changes that will optimize critical public services and results at significantly lower spending levels. The Office of Management and Budget and all judicial branch, elected and appointed departments will follow the guidelines to balance the budget for FY 2008-09 and to develop a structurally-balanced budget for FY 2009-10. The budget adjustments included in this item will restore the structural balance in the General Fund and Detention Fund budgets for FY 2008-09. The adjustments include reductions in the General Contingency budgets in these funds, which will need to be restored for FY 2009-10. Additional reductions will need to be made from department budgets during FY 2008-09. Pursuant to the Guidelines and A.R.S. §42-42-17106 B, approve the following adjustments in the General Fund and Detention Fund operating budgets totaling $60,811,492: 1) Within the appropriated budget for Non-Departmental (470) General Fund (100) Operating (0000), transfer $7,398,559 in expenditure authority from the Reserved Contingency item “Pay for Performance”, $3,000,000 from the Reserved Contingency item “Retirement Contribution Increases”, and $6,400,000 from General Contingency to the Reserved Contingency item “Reserve for Revenue Shortfall.” 2) Transfer $1,374,100 in appropriated expenditures from Health Care Programs (390) General Fund (100) Operating (0000) to Non Departmental (470) General Fund (100) Operating (0000) to the Reserved Contingency item “Reserve for Revenue Shortfall,” to reflect a reduction in the final enacted ALTCS Contribution from the amount included in the Adopted Budget. 3) Within the appropriated budget for Non-Departmental (470) General Fund (100) Operating (0000), transfer $5,821,312 in expenditure authority from the item “Court Tower Debt” and $28,017,521 in expenditure authority from the item “CIP Fund Transfer” to the Reserved Contingency item “Reserve for Revenue Shortfall,” and reduce total sources in Non-Departmental (470) General Fund County Improvement (445) Non-Recurring Non-Project (0001) by $33,838,833, with offsetting reductions in Eliminations. This adjustment does not increase the County budget due to the reduction in capital project appropriated budgets per Agenda C-70-09-017-2-00. 4) Within the appropriated budget for Non-Departmental (470) Detention Fund (255) Operating (0000), transfer $3,800,000 in expenditure authority from the Reserved Contingency item “Pay for Performance”, $4,400,000 from the Reserved Contingency item “Retirement Contribution Increases”, and $600,000 from General Contingency to the Reserved Contingency item “Reserve for Revenue Shortfall.” This adjustment does not alter the duly adopted budget for purposes of A.R.S. § 42-17105, but rather reflects internal adjustments necessitated by a forecasted reduction in revenues. Item 3 above is contingent on approval of agenda C-70-09-017-2-00. Maricopa County faces the challenge of maintaining fiscal stability during a period of unprecedented declines in revenue, followed by years of low growth. Through October, State Shared Sales Taxes are $7.2 million (4.7%) under budget, and 7.0% lower than for the same period in FY 2007-08. Likewise, State Shared Vehicle License Taxes are $1.2 million (2.4%) under budget, and Jail Excise Taxes are $3.2 million (7.0%) under budget. Combined, Sales, VLT and Jail Tax revenues are forecasted to be as much as $72.4 million under budget by the end of FY 2008-09. These revenue shortfalls are partially offset by previously adopted expenditure reductions and other revenue increases totaling $11.6 million. The most critical services and results must be maintained for the public with a significantly lower revenue base. County and judicial branch leadership at all levels will need to work together to make the difficult choices that will be required to meet these challenges. (C-49-09-036-2-00)
