This document provides an overview of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18 budget for the Superior Court of California, County of Orange (Court) beginning at the state level. It shows the Court’s alignment with the Judicial Council of California’s (JCC) strategic goals, and illustrates how the Court will utilize resources to ensure access to the highest quality of justice and court services. THE STATE California trial courts are primarily funded by the State. For FY 2017-18, the judicial branch budget is $3.7 billion.
Funding sources include $1.7 billion from the State’s general fund, which is only 1.3% of the $125.1 billion of general fund appropriations. About $2.8 billion of the $3.7 billion judicial branch budget is used to operate the State’s 58 trial courts. Every year, the legislature enacts new laws that impact trial court operations. They continually fail to provide funding to support the cost of these additional burdens. Without a stable funding solution, trial courts have increasingly relied on fines and fees revenues.
In addition to being bad policy, making trial courts reliant on the collection of fines and fees is inherently risky. This has been exacerbated by the recent passage of Assembly Bill (AB) 103 – Public Safety Trailer Bill. AB 103 eliminated the courts’ authority to initiate a driver’s license suspension or hold if the defendant fails to pay a traffic fine or bail. Furthermore, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is no longer authorized to suspend a driver’s license if it receives a notice of failure to pay from the courts.
The intent of AB 103 is to allow individuals to retain their driving privileges during resolution of their court cases; however, a DMV hold is an effective tool to collect money. Without this tool, revenue is expected to drop by 30%-40%. Thus, AB 103’s unintended impact to the trial courts is the loss of tens of millions of dollars. Although the Governor has recognized this negative impact to the trial courts and has committed to providing relief, there is no official approach to provide revenue backfills to sustain and fund Court operations.
Workload-based Allocation and Funding Methodology (WAFM) The Great Recession of 2008 left a lasting impact on the Judiciary and trial court funding. Since the Great Recession, more than $1 billion in funding reductions have been forced upon to the trial courts alone. Additionally, there were historical funding disparities amongst the 58 trial courts. The JCC reviewed the allocation of funding and subsequently, in 2013, adopted WAFM. The primary goal was to demonstrate an empirically-based funding need driven by workload.
WAFM utilizes filing data to determine the total state-wide funding need, as well as each court’s specific share of the total need. The challenge that still remains is to obtain full state funding based upon the workload need. Currently, trial courts, as a whole, are funded at only 78 percent of their workload-based need. 2
How much does the implementation of WAFM impact the Court? The funding decrease attributable solely to WAFM is an aggregate of approximately $14 million. Assuming the annual revenue budget is approximately $192 million that equates to a decrease of about 8%. This map depicts the redistribution of funds by county. Green counties are those that are receiving more funding and red counties are those that are receiving less than they did historically. Other challenges WAFM is not the only financial challenge that the Court is facing.
Since 2013, trial courts have had to operate with a one percent cap on operating reserves, a one-year delay in funding benefit cost increases, and insufficient funding for court-appointed counsel in juvenile dependency cases. For every historical dollar allocated per WAFM, the Court loses 17 cents on the dollar For all new money allocated per WAFM, the Court loses 34 cents on the dollar 3
THE JUDICIAL BRANCH In December 2014, the JCC, the policymaking body for California’s judicial branch, adopted its strategic plan, Justice in Focus: The Strategic Plan for California’s Judicial Branch 2006-2016. The goals with abridged policy statements are as follows: 1 The Superior Court of California, County of Orange (Court) used the JCC goals to help guide the development of its own. The setting of strategic goals enables the Court to develop detailed operational and financial plans, including the FY 2017-18 Approved Budget. 1 Judicial Council of California.

ORANGE COUNTY Orange County occupies less than 1% of California’s land area, but it is home to 8% of the State’s residents. The County’s population is expected to grow another 12% by the year 2040. One interesting dynamic regarding the expected population increase noted above is that number of persons aged 64 or less will actually decrease by about 100,000 while those 65 and older will increase by nearly a half million.
Although Orange County typically evokes images of affluence, the reality is that a significant portion of the population lives in poverty: 2 Although the unemployment rate in Orange County is less than 4.0%, home ownership is still a difficult challenge due to the high cost of living. 3 In order to continuously operate in the most effective way, the Court must know about the population it serves while remaining cognizant of expected changes.

THE COURT The Court’s mission statement defines its purpose at the very highest level. It tells Court users, employees, and the general public: “This is what we do.” The Court’s vision statement is a forward-thinking and idealistic view of what it hopes to achieve. It tells stakeholders: “This is how we will accomplish our mission.” VISION STATEMENT The Superior Court of California, County of Orange will provide access to the highest quality of justice and court services through the use of innovative techniques and collaborative relationships with community partners.
The Court will provide a professional environment in which all members of the public and employees are treated fairly and respectfully. MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Superior Court of California, County of Orange is to serve the public by administering justice and resolving disputes under the law, thereby protecting the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitutions of the State of California and the United States. 6
The Court’s values define its core beliefs. It asks judicial officers, executives, and staff: “Are we achieving our mission and goals in the right way?” The Court’s mission, vision, and values provide the foundation for its strategic goals. The Court’s five strategic goals are the roadmap that says “That is how we are going to get there.” Each of the Court’s five strategic goals is described in the following pages with a brief overview and examples of how the Court plans to utilize resources in FY 2017-18 to help achieve successful outcomes.
VALUES Delivering easily accessible and all-inclusive court services to support the needs of our diverse community Providing a variety of appropriate, expeditious, and effective case resolution forums across litigation types Expanding the use of technology to continually enhance access to Court information and improve the Court experience Alignment and synergistic collaboration with the Judicial Branch, justice partners, and the community to effectively and responsibly utilize Court resources Professional development and training to assure that judicial officers and staff are prepared to provide the highest quality of public service STRATEGIC GOALS Enhance the Court experience and constantly improve the delivery of services Use data-driven decision making for continuous improvement Increase the Court’s visibility and improve relationships within the community Develop a supportive environment where employees are empowered to make decisions and their skills are continually cultivated Strengthen the Court’s operational, technological, and administrative infrastructure 7
Residents of Orange County come to the Court for a myriad of reasons including serving as a juror, paying traffic tickets, initiating divorce proceedings, responding to an eviction notice, and/or dealing with any number of other legal disputes. The Court is keenly aware that people’s experiences will leave a lasting impression of the justice system. Enhancing the users’ experience and continually working to improve the methods and efficiency of service is, therefore, a strategic priority for the Court.
Delivering easily accessible and all-inclusive court services is an essential component in ensuring appropriate, expeditious, and effective case resolution for all litigation types. For the past five years, the Court has embraced technology and innovative thinking to change the way court business is conducted. In some instances, an in-person visit to the courthouse is no longer necessary. Many services are available through the Internet, use of a smartphone, or other mobile device. In FY 2017-18, the Court will continue to focus on enhancing access to information through technology.
This includes providing services in new and improved ways so the Court is better able to meet the needs of the diverse community it serves. Several new online portals will be designed and built to enable court users to better track progress of their cases, register to receive text reminders for upcoming hearing dates, submit filings and required legal documents. Mobile applications (apps) will be added to enable more Court business to be conducted online rather than in line, and to provide location information that will help courthouse visitors to navigate Court facilities.
The Court will also expand the use of tablets and kiosks to enable on-site Court users to check- in and complete legal forms. STRATEGIC GOAL Enhance the Court experience and constantly improve the delivery of services 8
Data-driven decision making is an approach to governance that values options and choices that can be supported by verifiable data. In order to be successful, the data gathered must be of high quality and the analysis and
interpretation of the information derived must be accurate and timely. This type of decision-making can provide insights that help answer key business questions. The measure of success will be whether or not this type of decision-making improves performance in ways that transform the Court for the better. There are several ongoing Court projects designed to improve the access to and quality of data used by decision makers. These projects aim, in part, to improve the reporting capabilities of the Court’s case management systems and provide validation of caseload statistics reported to the State.
In addition, the Court continues to explore and use powerful data visualization tools to create dashboards that make the delivery of information timely, interesting, impactful, and ultimately more effective. The Court’s FY 2017-18 Approved Budget further addresses the desire for data driven decision-making through the use of Court Innovations Grant funds. Funding was approved so the Court can build tools to load data from various systems into a single data warehouse and then apply advanced analytics software to create interactive dashboards.
Judicial officers, executives, and managers will have access to unrelated data sets in ways never before imagined. This will enable decision making from a more global perspective rather than just case type by case type. STRATEGIC GOAL Use data-driven decision making for continuous improvement DATA ANALYTICAL TOOLS IMPROVED DECISION- MAKING 9
The Court is not meant to be just a group of courtrooms and courthouses bundled within the County jurisdiction to adjudicate legal disputes. It strives to be a dynamic institution that is available for all who need its services, including the wealthiest of individuals and entities to the most socio-economically challenged. To meet this goal, the Court will continue to look for opportunities to establish collaborative partnerships and improve existing relationships with its various justice partners.
The Court works diligently with County and other agencies to solve issues (e.g. reducing recidivism rates of offenders who have been found guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol). The Court’s Self-Help Services unit offers assistance, clinics, and general information to self- represented litigants for various types of cases including criminal, traffic, civil, small claims, family law, conservatorships, probate, and elder abuse. Services are offered at six locations scattered throughout the County.
Five are located within courthouses—in the cities of Fullerton, Newport Beach, Orange, Santa Ana, and Westminster—and the sixth is part of the Superior Court Service Center, which is located in the city of Mission Viejo. Resources are also available on the Court’s website. In FY 2017-18, the Court is utilizing Court Innovation Grants funding to enhance the current self-help portal through the use of remote and mobile technologies. Historically, the Court provided interpreter services to court users who speak limited English and are involved in criminal, traffic, dependency, delinquency, or other mandated matters.
The JCC directed that courts “…provide full, meaningful, fair, and equal access to justice for all Californians. …without meaningful language access, Californians who speak limited English are effectively denied access to the very laws created to protect them.” Thus, beginning in FY 2017-18, the Court will also be providing interpreter services for non- mandated civil, probate and family law matters. Other improvements will include better signage throughout court facilities as well as making a larger number of translated forms and documents available to the public.
STRATEGIC GOAL Increase the Court's visibility and improve relationships within the community 10
Despite an emphasis on improving technologies to serve users in a variety of more convenient and efficient ways, the Court’s most valuable resource continues to be its workforce. In the end, it is the people—judicial officers and staff alike—who work diligently to administer justice and help resolve disputes brought before the Court. As such, the Court will continue to provide professional development opportunities to maintain its high standards of professionalism, ethics, and performance.
In addition to the training requirements set forth by the California Rules of Court (CRC) Rule 10.474, the Court also offers opportunities to expand knowledge and skills in the areas of leadership, communication, technology, and personal development. Its commitment to professional development is evidenced by the FY 2017- 18 budget, which includes allocations for judicial and employee training exceeding a total of $500 per person. The Court empowers staff, in part, by providing them with some responsibility for their own work environment.
In 2015, staff were asked to respond to an employee satisfaction survey (ESS). After reviewing the results, committees were formed to identify concerns, make recommendations, and actively address local and court-wide issues. Many of the approved recommendations were implemented. A follow-up ESS was completed earlier in 2017 in order to determine the success of the various ESS projects. The program will continue in FY 2017-18 as working groups were convened in September 2017 for the purpose of continually improving the Court as a workplace of choice for the current workforce and future applicants.
STRATEGIC GOAL Develop a supportive environment where employees are empowered to make decisions and their skills are continually cultivated 11
Infrastructure refers to the set of physical components and internal systems needed to sustain, protect, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Court operations. The physical components include facilities, furniture and fixtures, telecommunications and office equipment. Internal systems include rules of court, policies, procedures, and internal controls. Infrastructure—whether new, modified, or improved--tends to be of high cost. And, as such, a significant portion of the Court’s FY 2017-18 Approved Budget is earmarked for infrastructure improvements.
For instance, the Court is working on the installation of ballistic protection at courthouse entrances to help protect security staff and all those who enter Court facilities. Additionally, funds have been allocated for the replacement of electronic recording equipment in 37 courtrooms and the replacement of evidence presentation equipment in another 29 courtrooms. The Court will also continue to leverage cloud computing capabilities to move towards a scalable hybrid infrastructure architecture and strengthen its continuity of operations and disaster recovery plans.
Updates to internal systems are, for the most part, already built into the Court’s operating budget. Even though these improvements do not require additional expenditures, the Court continually strives to increase efficiency, accountability, and transparency.
As such, a number of projects are in the works including an upgrade to the payroll timekeeping system to improve reporting, automation of high-volume transactions that are currently processed manually, and reengineering of all travel and training processes to streamline everything from the approval process through claim submission—all while maintaining a high level of internal control. STRATEGIC GOAL Strengthen the Court’s operational, technological, and administrative infrastructure Control environment Control activities Information and communication Reporting and monitoring Risk assessment INTERNAL CONTROLS 12
THE BUDGET PROCESS TIMELINE In California, the trial courts are primarily funded by the State. This chart shows the relationship and the development timelines of the State, Judicial Branch, and local trial court budgets. Details regarding the Court’s FY 2017-18 Approved Budget are presented on the following pages.
COURT • January through February - Financial Planning Office (FPO) makes initial estimate of available funding. • March through July - FPO works with the Presiding Judge (PJ), Assistant Presiding Judge, executive team, and cost center managers to prepare detailed spending plans. • August through September - The Court Finance and Court Executive Committees review the Court’s budget and make recommendations to PJ. After the PJ approves the final budget, FPO submits the required JCC documents and publishes the Court’s approved budget.
JUDICIAL BRANCH • All year - The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee (TCBAC) recommends funding allocations for the 58 trial courts. • July – JCC reviews and approves the allocation of funding to the trial courts. STATE • January - Governor submits proposed budget to Legislature • May - Governor issues revised budget, or “May Revise” • June - Legislature adopts a balanced budget. With 12 days of adoption, the Governor may reduce or eliminate any budget line items and then signs the budget bill. Trailer bills needed to implement the budget may be signed at a later date. 13
FY 2017-18 Approved Budget – FINANCING SOURCES Total financing sources $193,079,664 STATE BASE ALLOCATION $136,446,037 71% of the revenue budget The FY 2017-18 State base allocation is about $1.2 million less than FY 2016-17 due to the WAFM rate change from 7.17% to 7.07%.

Total expenditures $193,079,664 15
FY 2017-18 Approved Budget - STAFFING As illustrated on the previous page, salary and benefit costs are more than 82% of the budget. Most of the Court’s staffing cost is paid from the general fund. Other staff support programs are reimbursed from various sources, including the State, the JCC, the County of Orange, grants, and local revenues.
COUNTY 1.6% of total staffing Alternate Defense Services Grand Jury Juvenile Justice Commission Pretrial Services GRANTS 1.5% of total staffing AB 1058 programs help litigants in family law matters and expedite child support cases. Self-Help Services assist those who are without attorneys. GENERAL FUND 85.4% of total staffing Many staff interact with the public in courtrooms or at windows and public counters. Others work behind the scenes to process cases, perform legal research, manage exhibits and records, and perform administrative work.
LOCAL 3.6% of total staffing Enhanced Collections staff help administer justice by resolving financial obligations related to the litigants’ Court cases. STATE 7.4% of total staffing Commissioners adjudicate various case types Courtroom Attendants support civil courtrooms Court Interpreters assist litigants in 65 languages FACILITIES MAINTENANCE 0.7% of total staffing Staff maintain the Court’s facilities and related mechanical systems. 16
FY 2017-18 Approved Budget - FUND BALANCE As of June 30, 2017, the Court’s fund balance, or funds held in reserve, totaled $9,205,925. The FY 2017-18 budget includes the use of reserves in the amount of $1,341,692 leaving an expected fund balance as of June 30, 2018 of $7,864,233—most of which is restricted for specific expenditures. Due to the 1% of operating expenditures restriction placed on the amount of fund balance courts can accumulate, the Court has little room to absorb negative variances to revenue and/or expenditures. It also limits the Court’s ability to set aside funds for future projects.
The Court will continue to be vigilant in its use and monitoring of resources to remain compliant and negate the possibility of returning funds to the State. Furthermore, the Court will rely upon its vision, values, and goals to make strategic decisions that ensure its financial health in the current fiscal year and beyond.
Fund Balance as of June 30, 2017 9,205,925 FY 2017-18 BUDGET Revenue 191,737,972 Expenditures 193,079,664 Planned use of reserves in FY 2017-18 1,341,692 Estimated Fund Balance as of June 30, 2018 7,864,233 Description Amount ASSIGNED 1% Operating Reserve 626,000 NONSPENDABLE Collaborative Courts Donation Fund 11,321 Prepaid expenses 861,975 RESTRICTED - STATUTORY Child Custody Fees 59,907 Children's Waiting Room 473,898 Micrographics Prior to 2006 38,334 Replacement of 2% Automation Fund 5,727,805 Small Claims Advisory 64,993 Total Estimated Fund Balance to be Retained by the Court 7,864,233 Total Estimated Fund Balance Available to be Reclaimed by the State - 17

FY 2017-18 Approved Budget – BUDGET BY PECT When the Court submits its budget to the JCC, expenditures are classified by program, element, component, and task (PECT). This system of accounting provides information about expenditures by functional area and case type. At the highest level, PECT is broken down into three major programs: court operations (program 10), non-court operations (program 20), and court administration (program 90).
It is further broken as shown below: Program 10 expenditures (depicted in the pie chart by the blue slices) make up more than 81% of the total budget; program 20 (the gray slice) about 4%, and program 90 (the olive slice) just over 15%. PECT data is used as the basis for calculating the Court’s annual indirect overhead rate. The official rate for FY 2017-18 will not be calculated until January 2018. Until then, the Court uses a rate of 16.18%, which is the rate approved for FY 2016-17.
Over the last 9 years, the Court’s indirect overhead rate averaged a modest 20.26% Budget = $193.1 million Program 10 Program 20 Program 90 Other trial court operations • Traffic and infractions • Criminal • Civil • Family and children services • Probate, guardianship • Juvenile dependency • Juvenile delinquency Operations support • Other support • Interpreters • Jury services • Security Judges and courtroom support Non Court Operations • Enhanced collections • Other non court operations Other trial court operations • Executive office • Fiscal services • Human Resources • Business and facilities • Information technology 19

FY 2017‐18 Approved Budget – BUDGET BY DEPARTMENT The budget for Court staff as well as all services and supplies is segregated into seven departments—Executive Office, Judicial Administration, Human Resources, General Counsel, Court Technology Services, Finance and Administration, and Operations. The Court has 124 authorized judicial positions. Per California Rules of Court Rule 10.602 et al, the judges select a presiding judge and assistant presiding judge. Non‐judicial employees are led by the court executive officer. The number of budgeted staff are represented as full‐time equivalents (FTEs). The number of FTEs by department is illustrated below: 24
The FY 2017-18 Approved Budget by department is shown below. The Operations Department includes about 72% of the Court’s total workforce and its budget is about 65% of the total. 25
FY 2017-18 Approved Budget – BUDGET BY COST CENTER The Court’s seven departments are further subdivided into cost centers. In addition to their other duties, cost center managers are responsible for assigned personnel, controlling costs, and reporting significant variances from the budget. The cost center budget summaries that follow highlight each cost center’s mission statement, its goals and approved budget for FY 2017-18 as well as major accomplishments in FY 2016-17. For each cost center, a chart is provided showing the salaries and benefits budget with budgeted staffing (FTEs).
A second chart is provided for the services and supplies budget. To help provide context, charts include actual expenditures from FY 2008-09 through FY 2016-17. A projection is also provided for FY 2018-19. The chart below provides summarizes this information for the entire Court. Note that even though the Court’s budgeted staffing has decreased 426.5 FTEs, about 22.5%, since FY 2008-09, the total cost of salaries and benefits has actually increased slightly.
Services and supplies decreased significantly after FY 2010-11 because funding for court security is now provided directly to the counties instead of to the courts. 26

(301020) Mission Statement FY 2017-18 APPROVED BUDGET David Yamasaki Katrina Coreces (657) 622-7017 (657) 622-7739 Court Executive Officer Financial Planning Analyst The mission of the Superior Court of California, County of Orange is to serve the public by administering justice and resolving disputes under the law, thereby protecting the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitutions of California and the United States. There are no significant changes to report for FY 2017-18. Includes salaries and benefits for 10.5 Commissioner positions, one fewer than in the prior year due to a retirement.
In previous years, this cost center included 2.0 FTEs non-judicial staff. Beginning in FY 2017-18, these non-judicial positions are no longer in this cost center and are instead included in the Judicial Assistance Group (302240). This cost center's budget also includes extra help funds for commissioner backfill and contractors hearing emergency protective orders at nights and on weekends.
Judges are not included in the number of FTEs but the $9,500 partial salary paid to specific judges through the county payroll system, for which the Court is reimbursed by the State, are included in the expenditures. 7,250,891 7,225,668 6,529,414 5,889,621 5,612,735 5,287,622 4,884,668 4,920,492 4,764,799 4,355,262 27.0 23.0 19.0 17.1 14.8 14.5 10.3 13.5 10.5 10.5 - 5.0 10.0 15.0 20.0 25.0 30.0 - 2,000,000 4,000,000 6,000,000 8,000,000 FY 2009-10 Actual FY 2010-11 Actual FY 2011-12 Actual FY 2012-13 Actual FY 2013-14 Actual FY 2014-15 Actual FY 2015-16 Actual FY 2016-17 Actual FY 2017-18 Budget FY 2018-19 Projection Salaries and Benefits (in dollars), and Budgeted Staffing (in FTEs) 328,869 134,925 67,969 46,739 49,677 257,937 65,531 64,531 56,430 56,000 - 100,000 200,000 300,000 400,000 FY 2009-10 Actual FY 2010-11 Actual FY 2011-12 Actual FY 2012-13 Actual FY 2013-14 Actual FY 2014-15 Actual FY 2015-16 Actual FY 2016-17 Actual FY 2017-18 Budget FY 2018-19 Projection Services and Supplies 29

Court Executive Office
(302100) Mission Statement FY 2017-18 APPROVED BUDGET The management and administration of all non-judicial operations of the Court are the responsibility of the Court Executive Officer (CEO). Funding for discretionary training and travel for non-judicial staff is included here. During the fiscal year, once the training and travel request is approved, the expense is charged against the employee's home cost center. Once funds are expended, budget is then moved from this cost center to the employee's cost center. This is why actual expenditures are lower than the original budget.
Funds are also budgeted for consultants and lawyers to conduct investigations or handle special projects. Staff include the CEO and the Executive Assistant to the CEO.
