Measured or measurable Impact on functions,structure and organization Without a designated court facility plans to implement the Salt Lake City Justice Court cannot proceed. F. Issue Discussion Criteria is a definition of what is expected or what can be expected. It provides a basis for comparison without which analysis cant be effective. The criteria varies from issue to issue. In straightforward cases, it can be an ordinance or policy. In other cases, it may be an industry standard or comparable data from another city. Condition is a description of current practices. it is the information to which the criteria is compared. Effect is the difference, if any, between the condition and criteria. It is best described in terms of a dollar impact or a service level impact. If an effect cannot be identified, there is no finding. Cause is sometimes a difficult element to identify but is essential to a finding. it is simply identifying why the condition varies from the criteria. Sometimes the answer is as simple as a change in policy or budget but often goes deeper into management or personnel issues. Recommendation is made in a way that addresses the cause. By doing so,it is most likely to result in improving the condition to be in line with the criteria. The City Council approved a resolution in June 2000 to establish a Salt Lake City Justice Court effective July 1, 2002. The Justice Court must meet the standards established by the Judicial Council for the court operations. These standards include minimum requirements for the physical facility, clerical resources, security, and other resources that must be allocated for the court. Salt Lake City qualifies as a Class I court with 501 or more cases filed per month. Salt Lake City's monthly caseload is expected to include about 1325 criminal non-traffic cases, 4400 traffic cases, and 1300 small claims cases. A minimum of four courtrooms will be needed for criminal and small claims cases, with another courtroom required for traffic cases. A total of about 35 employees will be required to process the annual caseload of 84,000 criminal, small claims and traffic cases. The total area required for the Justice Court is expected to be about 20,000 square feet. Currently the City does not have vacant office space large enough to accommodate the number of courtrooms needed to meet the City's caseload. The Administration has identified real estate that would meet the needs of the Justice Court, and recommends that it be purchased. Revenue generated from the Justice Court is expected to be more than sufficient to meet the expenses of the court, but the upfront costs are substantial. Funding is recommended to be provided from fund balance initially, and then be reimbursed next spring with a bond issued for the total amount of the project. A reimbursement resolution is also recommended to ensure that the funds can be allocated back to fund balance.

Measured or measurable Impact on functions, structure and organization The engineering, programming, and architectural costs requested to be funded are needed to design and construct/remodel the facility for the Justice Court. The contracting to plan the facility cannot proceed until funds are allocated. F. Issue Discussion Criteria is a definition of what is expected or what can be expected.

In June of 2000 Salt Lake City declared its intent to establish a Justice Court by July 1, 2002. This Court is required to meet the requirements for certification adopted by the Utah Judicial Council. These standards include minimum requirements for the physical facility, clerical resources, security, and other resources that must be allocated for the court. To accommodate 85,000 cases per year, a building of approximately 20,000 square feet will be needed. This space must be designed and configured to meet the needs of various groups of people — the public, judges, prosecutors, legal defenders, security staff, clerical staff, witnesses, juries, and defendants. Salt Lake City Engineering oversees the construction/remodeling for City facilities. Each project must be funded on its own, and fees are assessed by Engineering based on the size of the project. The City is required to have funds budgeted before a contract can be approved. Currently there are no resources allocated to design a court facility. Funding needed includes $25,000 for an initial architectural estimate; $265,000 for a contract for the design, construction drawings, and architectural administration and supervision of the project; and $132,500 for City Engineering to manage the project, negotiate and issue the contract, provide plan review, supervise the construction, and close out the project when completed. The expertise and time required to design a court facility are not currently within the resources of the Engineering division. The Court project's programming, architectural, and engineering fees require $422,500. This amount would be reimbursed by a bond to be issued next spring. Debt service for the bond would be covered by the revenue generated from the Justice Court. Funding should be allocated for the programming, engineering, and architectural costs associated with the design and construction / remodel for a court facility. These projects need to be funded now in order to meet the timeframe needed to have the court operational by July 1, 2002. An architectural firm that specializes in court design is needed to address the specific requirements for the court.
