Background and Discussion:

 

The request of $30,000 is for overtime costs associated to review all cases to compare DAO motions with orders issued by the Court. Additionally, there are changes that are coming with SB9 that will necessitate more staff to be certified to run and document NCIC and TCIC for the Public Safety Report (PSR).

 

Expected Impact:

 

This is a manual review of approximately 30,000 cases. PTS will confirm that no conditions are assigned to Community Supervision and Corrections Department for supervision. With regard to the PSR, a larger number of people will be certified to run a full criminal history for the PSR which will mitigate any delays for setting bail.
