Item G

The Judicial Council of California has approved payment of $16 million in reimbursement costs due to delays in the implementation of the Case Management System (CMS). The funds were incurred as a result of technical environments, software licensing, contractors, court subject matter experts, AOC staff, and travel expenses. The payment will be deposited into the Trial Court Trust Fund or other funds, depending on the source of the funding. Additional appropriation authority may be required to expend these funds in FY 2011-2012, but sufficient authority is anticipated to be available in FY 2012-2013. The Judicial Council has allocated the funds to offset reductions to trial court operations funding, and some funds will be transferred from other accounts to cover the reimbursement costs.
