Request authorization for the Phoenix Municipal Court to apply for $175,000 in grant funding from the Arizona Supreme Court-administered local Judicial Collection Enhancement Fund (JCEF) to replace and upgrade the air conditioning units in the Court’s computer room. Further request authorization for the City Treasurer to accept, and for the City Controller to disburse, all funds related to this item.
Report
Summary
The two aging air conditioning units currently located in the Court’s computer room have begun to experience mechanical issues and have reached the recommended replacement age. In order to ensure the stability and supportability of the Court’s computer systems, and by extension business operations, it is essential that these units be replaced.
Financial Impact
Funding is available in the Phoenix Municipal Court local JCEF account. The Municipal Court must submit a funding plan and application to the Arizona Supreme Court Administrative Office of the Courts to secure approval for use of JCEF funds pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes Section 14-113. No General Fund dollars will be used.
