Agenda Item Text:
Certify that total court revenues collected in Fiscal Year 2010/2011 exceeded total court revenues collected in Fiscal Year 1997/1998 and authorize distribution of the 5% set-aside revenues, pursuant to ARS 41-2421.
Background:
In 1999, the Arizona Legislature enacted A.R.S.§41-2421, a law enhancing collections in the courts, setting forth the allocation of those revenues to criminal justice entities (popularly referred to as the Fill the Gap initiative). Pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-2421, a base year of revenue thresholds was established as Fiscal Year 1997-98. Thereafter 5% of revenues collected by the courts were to be “set-aside” until the determination that a subsequent year’s revenues exceeded that of the base year. If so, those “set-aside” dollars are to be disbursed to the below-outlined criminal justice agencies. The certification of each year’s revenues exceeding the base year must be done by the Board of Supervisors in order for those funds to be properly allocated. Total court General Fund revenues for FY 2010-2011 were $2,733,532.40 compared to the FY 1997-1998 total of $2,100,024, an increase of $633,508.40.
