You're recognized center thank you Mr chair I have no problem with report but I would ask that the committee consider that if you have special language for five years is no longer special. And that we consider moving that to policy for the particular area end up going for it that would be my ask that we consider that because we have some special language has been on the books for years and that makes it no longer special in many cases so I would just ask that we located in with that second motion ask for a good vote. Thank you senator I totally agree. With that see no further questions all those in favor the reports say aye. All opposed us have it so with that we'll move on to the ministry of a officer courts and we do have audit findings so. With legislative audit yes Sir. If you would introduce yourself a record here right my name is Doug Spencer I'm with legislative audit. Of there is one funding for this report from the fiscal year two thousand eighteen audit. On. Our tester for trial court employee expenditure shows that there was an overpayment over a three year period for a fourteen thousand dollars. The agency. Has is still in the process of working to determine if they're going to try to collect. Of this over payment and the employees involved are still employed with the agency. For fiscal year nineteen we've already completed that audit and there were no findings and that concludes my report. Any questions for legislative audit. Senator Chesterfield yes where the money's reimbursed. Properly dispersed the agency is still waiting to determine what the prosecutors going to do before they try to collect the funds is my understanding. They are they are Senate they have sent this to the prosecuting attorneys on our our office in to to the prosecuting attorney yes. Is that our standard procedure I understand that I'm wondering and sending it there. We did not as the agency to see if it could read them get the sick the reimbursement first before we turned it over the past few. Never there's an overpayment our office automatically sends it to the prosecuting attorney. The agency is waiting to determine if the prosecutors going to find fault with the individuals before they seek reimbursement thank you. See eighteen. There. Alright you're recognized. You're recognized ms for. Thank you Mr chairman of how many employees were involved the primary the majority of the funds were for one individual and it was I believe it was a twelve thousand dollars of that was for one individual. And it was over three year period for you many well known for three years yes the problem was that there was some Misunderstanding I think would be the the the right way to phrase about where to claim mileage from where there was from the residents are from the official station and so this went on for a period of three years what what is it what is the state policy or their policy regarding that the policy is to use the shorter. Of residence or official stations so for example some some trip trial court employees of have to go to several different courts service one so they may work at court a but then once they get there they have to go to other courts but if it's a shorter distance from their home to their second court. Then they're supposed to take the shorter distance and. Not all of them did that is what we found in our test. So when you say not all of them do that is that mean it was more widespread just one employee well there was a total of fourteen thousand dollars twelve thousand of it was for one individual and then the other mounts for smaller. Total forty two thousand thirteen thousand fourteen fourteen misunderstood fourteen thousand three years yes Sir but the employee was aware of this and no no we don't think the complete was aware of it. Like I said I think there was a misunderstanding of what the policy was because the. The circuit judges the one that signs off on the expenditure they're the ones that review it and so I think it was a misunderstanding of the policy and then the management's response which is included in the audit they went back and reminded the the judge of what the rules were. Was the one the court or more than one of the well the majority was that one court I don't have the I don't have the information but we scored it is. But the but no the in total it was a different court. Thank you Mr chairman. Seeing no further questions we'll move on to miss the. A rock star and you're recognized. Thank you Mr chair. Carol looking at the administration office of the courts. This starts on page five. The bear the administrative office for the non judicial business of state courts. The department appropriations summary is on page six they have twenty eight appropriations. Only ten of them have changed levels seven solely have changes in salary a match due to adjustments made in the current biennium that are requested to continue into the next biennium. They're requesting a discontinuation of two of these appropriations and to appropriations that were established during the interim. The agency is requesting fifty point four million for FY twenty two and fifty point five million for FY twenty three. There is no executive recommendation. And I'm gonna go over the change locals. On page twelve the administrative office of the courts. This is funded from state central services in state administration of justice the agency is requesting about five point three million each year of the biennium. There is an increase in salary a match due to the addition of two positions. There's an increase in judicial education of forty thousand dollars to educate thirty six new circuit judges. There's an increase in court interpreter fees of forty thousand due to growth in the Hispanic population throughout the state. On page twenty as the court improvement program this is funded from federal revenue. They're requesting about one million each year of the biennium. there re allocating twenty thousand from the professional fees line item to conference and travel expenses line item to be more in line with actual expenditures. Juvenile drug court date data management system this is on page twenty eight. This federal program has ended so they're requesting to discontinue this appropriation.

And the last change level is court automation enhancement they are actually requesting a discontinuation of this appropriation Mr chair that concludes my presentation. See no questions we have that do have question senator Chesterfield you're recognized yes Sir for the office of the courts. Yes ma'am we'll get a man I thank you. You guys would introduce yourself for the record senator Chesterfield has question. I'm Marty Sullivan I'm the director of the administrative office of the courts. I'm Tim Holt often the director of the court information systems division I work for Marty. Thank you so much I hope you all work for us as well A as I'm looking at it do you have any contract with vendors. We have several support agreements with vendors for our our database management system we have the continuing support for the oracle database for case management system we have support from Avenue for the case management system you are outside cleaning service or is it in house. Well let me just cut to the chase I'm concerned because the layout this review of of budgets. No A agency seems to have been able to hire any minority contractors so I just want you to know that that is a concern of mine and I don't think it reflects well on this state the second question is actually on page thirty two you have actual expenditures of eleven thousand four hundred and fourteen dollars and yet you are asking four hundred ninety five thousand eight hundred seventy four dollars could you tell me why that big a change. Two four. That the current. Total budget goes from eleven thousand actually spent. Two hundred ninety five thousand eight hundred and seventy four dollars could you tell me why such a huge increase and I can I can certainly follow up with the Jennifer cries are juvenile director this is a federal grant and it's for the juvenile drug courts this is an appropriation that will allow you to access money from the rental government correct okay thank you that answers my question I appreciate it thank you Mr chair. The sender the represented would you're recognized for a question thank you Mr chairman of. On all the report is shown forty two thousand. Showed forty two thousand dollars that are fourteen thousand had been paid of on dealing with the mileage have you all corrected that it is the policy the the alter reported that there's. Distance question about from one corner to another court are you all know measuring the distance that they should trail he said they have that is so long and stabilised route four hundred drive a distance was that's as seem kind of complicated I mean. Or or none complicated won't worry all doing about that Sir yeah it's it is a little confusing and this is something that occurred before I became director and so as soon as we were notified of this issue we are the ones that call I got it and told them my by that phone call that day of the issue is these aren't really our employees the TCA in the court reporters work directly for the circuit judges so this particular judge was in a circuit that ad I think five or six counties and his staff person was calculating their mileage from another circuit court building to and from and. You know what the judge signed off on this then approve this so we calculate what's on the seat and and double check that so when this came up the judge came here and testified and and gave information to the the committee and. I didn't realize this was still going to be honest report assist other this is over with in twenty eighteen so the the circuit judge as been working with Larry gently I know Larry gently was turned over the prosecutor and so I I I don't know the status of the reimbursement for the status of what Larry jellies investigation they have not sent a report to be letting me know what they're doing now certainly follow up with that this afternoon and let you know okay well I'm just curious to you know the policy seems to be so complicated that maybe the judge didn't understand it or he did I mean of. Against the the thing I'm pleased with is the fact that your looking into the trying to work through it Mister chairman I have one more question in your own page of twelve you're requesting two additional of positions and and I looked at your budget vacant positions and you have twenty five positions throughout Europe you're a a agency the that are vacant so what could you use one of those. Positions rather than adding two additional ones. That's certainly news to me that we have that many vacant positions I'll have to run that report because I don't think that's the case I think one problem with that too is seven years ago we took over the management of the the TCA is in the court reporters for the circuit judges so the AOC has fewer than two hundred employees to serve all the courts in the state and so if you look at that number that probably includes all of the TCA in court reporters which is an additional two hundred plus employees for the circuit judges so I know we've had some turnover with the TCA the court reporter some assuming those are the vacant positions well what. The I got this this comes from August reporter Joel filed with the view of legislative research. Shows of the authorized four hundred and two positions budgeted three hundred and seventy seven and then it shows of vacant positions within the whole of your operation of of twenty five I wish you would look into that. See if you can you know utilize what you have available thank you Mr chairman if I may it's it's probably a combination of multiple factors so we have additional employees that are coming on June first G. January first because of the the new judgeships that were created so that that will be part of a currently we have five vacancies in court automation were waiting for the budget to to stabilize since we're dependent on fines fees and cost to to fund these position so we're still under a hiring freeze on those those vacancy. I come you you only have three positions that are over two years ago so a I would look at I wish you to look at those to answer thank you thank you Mr chairman thank you thank you Representative Senator hammer you're recognized for a question. Good morning thank you Mr chair back to the issue is raised about the contracts that are given out in about minorities have an opportunity to bid on those when you BID those contracts out are they open to everybody to apply for them. Yes I'm assuming so as far as the the billing cleaning services that we do that through building services I'm I'm assuming we don't we don't build those out we're just rental wars of the justice building so that might be a better question for building services okay that that's one of the points want to get to as far as you have anything to do with that that's not really under your purview that actually falls under building services correct correct alright thank you Mr. Senate just for you have a question yes I just need to know if that's true of all of these that they all fall under building services all of these agencies now so I know to home to go to find out about contracts and not. I take up the committee's time because I do think it is important that our contracts reflect the makeup of our state. And we have chosen to identify minorities as ethnic minorities women and disabled veterans and I think it is imperative that we know what efforts are being made and while these things may be open to all we know from the the contracts that were let house get to the much quicker than others because they know the system and so I want to know to whom I should go in order to make sure that we're giving people the opportunity to become participants in this process in the state of Arkansas all people ethnic minorities women and disabled veterans and if we could find that out I'd appreciate it Mr chair thank you so much. Yes ma'am I can answer that that's the if in a procurement and building services on this particular one and that's going to very depending on the agency but we can identify for that for you at each time if you would like that would be helpful yes ma'am if you don't mind just hit your button so we don't forget and Kevin can tell you exactly where to go on each one alright thank you so much yes ma'am. Senator Stubblefield you have a question. Yes for sure thank you morning what kind of effect is covert had on the office of the courts your overall operation it's been one of the most stressful times I'd. We've had. We lost an employee one of the Supreme Court employees passed away of covered we've had employees that have lost children to go but. it's been it's been tough I when I was fourteen enough to been offered this job four years ago I never imagined that I would be putting together a supply chain of PP for courts around the state we hit the ground running because the cities and counties could not find PP right away to date. The administrative office of the courts has distributed over seven hundred thousand mask to the court community we've given out fifteen thousand bottles of hand sanitizer and over five hundred thousand close another issue we had was the cities and counties in the sheriff's offices couldn't find a medical grade thermometers those laser thermometers so I stayed up. One night and found the distributor and and Las Vegas I was in north in a lot of and we were able to get two hundred and fifty of the medical grade thermometers here and we've distributed those out to every county and if you come to the justice building right now we just announced our fourth disbursement of PP and judges are picking that up today as we speak so it's it's been unusual to say the least the number of of court staff around the state the number of judges frankly that have contracted it is concerning I know many members in this very room have been affected as well so just like everybody else it's it's been has created a backlog. We look at the the data for the the civil cases in and the more rural areas not so much the real unique thing about this is the transformation to zoom we provided soon accounts for all judges in the state and we. Certainly the Supreme Court knows the importance of moving dockets and the judges have done a remarkable job of adopting zoom and doing soon hearings there courts all over the state that that look just like this that have the plexiglas they're having trials will be there they're working and and honestly some of them putting themselves in danger I mean you look at that the district courts the number of people that they see is is phenomenal and the things that they're doing is really been kind of pro active and you look at one of the judges he had a for Dyer the jury selection in the back of a pickup truck and he was literally standing in the back of his pickup truck so people can social distance we've had district courts that have created drive through quartz so you can actually drive up and they text you that you know you you can drive up to a certain spot so I mean the courts of really adapted remarkably an extremely proud of all the things that we've done and I I've got to take a moment to commence the administrative office of court staff because they've really done a remarkable job. Thank you Mr. Thank you you think Senator Senator hammer you have one final question I do thank you Mr chair so on the basis of your answers are to Senator Stubblefield do you ever see that the courts are going to go back to what we would refer to this previous cove it is normal or are we going to be able to continue some of these practices that may actually help create some savings within your budget and be able to opens up to new opportunities absolutely I mean another thing I never imagined that I would watch the Supreme Court to an oral argument on soon and the supreme court's doing soon moral arguments absolutely I I think zoom is here for to stay a specially with the turn over a new circuit judges we've got thirty six circuit judges that are retiring and December so we've got new training for the thirty six new judges that take the mention January we're doing soon training for them it it's it's certainly a an unusual time but we are we are adapting to the technology and we're gonna continue to use it I I percent in the future absolutely alright thank you thank Mr. So I entertain a motion. I have a motion second all those in favor say aye. All opposed us have it thank you guys so with that we'll move on to the court of appeals. And miss rope you're recognized. Thank you Mr chair. Says on page thirty six is the court of appeals. The court was established to help alleviate the case load of the Arkansas Supreme Court. They do have one appropriation it's on page thirty seven this is funded from state central services. The agency is requesting about five point seven million each year of the biennium again this is one that does not have an executive recommendation. Change the rules are an increase in salary a match to the reclassification of several positions there is also an increase of sixty thousand to the legal counsel appropriation line this is due to the increase in attorney fees to those attorneys handling direct appeals. And if you look pages thirty eight thirty nine or just a duplicate of pages thirty six and thirty seven so you can disregard that and that concludes my presentation Mr chair. Do we have do we have someone here from the. Court of appeals there should be yes Sir Schliemann please. Kevin's coming to tell you how to know that. If you would introduce yourself for the record. A good morning of Brandon Harrison a judge on the court of appeals and the soon to be chief judge. And I'm and Solomon I'm the chief staff attorney in court of appeals. So looking at this it goes up almost a million dollars and the reasoning was reallocation of positioning positions so if you guys could could you explain how come it's costing us a million dollars more to pay people at the court of appeals certainly I'm earlier this fall are court appeared before and Legislative Council peer review and then Legislative Council asking for an ever increasing our salary appropriation that was to achieve parity with the Supreme Court law clerks that was approved in September and so growing our budget for twenty twenty one has been increased and so this twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three appropriation just carries that forward. Okay Representative would recognize. Mr Longmore live of the. The request was made to the personnel committee on or a class that's the difference in pay between the Supreme Court Clark's and the appeals that the currently so that's the reason for your. That was what we approved in September yes Sir correct okay thank you Mr. Thank you see no further questions to have a motion. Promotion a second all those in favor say aye. All opposed us have it thank you guys. Thank you thank you with that we'll move on to the auditor to state and we do have audit findings will go to the legislative audit first. Sir just feel you're recognized thank you Mr chair I would like to find out from the office of transformation what commitment they have made to the hiring of minorities so that I don't have to ask each one of these entities about it because much of that falls under them. And we also now I think I'm mislaid law we for just a number of buildings already that belong to the state so that there is an opportunity I would like to ask them about their commitment in the future do we have someone here from the office transformation now. Senator we're going request them to be present after lunch and okay thank you get that answer for you I thank you so much so with that let's carry on to the auditors state audit findings if you would introduce yourself record you're recognized.

Our testing found that the agency did not have adequate controls over Starks resulting in Arkansas citizens being other over pater underpaid when collecting their unclaimed property start. The second finding related to the market the market sales price of the stock not being taken into consideration when pain now unclaimed property. The third finding. Note that a detailed history was not being maintained by the auditor of state on each of the unclaimed property accounts relating to the stock in the fourth finding was that due to lack of management oversight agencies calculation of excess unclaimed property transferred to the department of finance and administration was understated by three million dollars we have concluded the fiscal year two thousand nineteen audit is scheduled to go next month and I have no findings that concludes my presentation. Thanks served represent Kevin are your question for audit. You're recognized thank you Mr chair. So these are repeat findings but you're saying that they have cleared them up since this last audit yes ma'am okay do we know if they've made the people that were damaged hold. The. The agency has in I introduce steps that as unclaimed property is going forward is being paid out that they're going back in reviewing each individual case. However. For past cases yes somewhere or other over paid or underpaid. And they're they're just those those of. Can't be fixed they're gone. Okay thank you. Representative Tosh do you have a question. I do Mr chairman thank you a list of the looking over these findings I'm of your to your not apologize for that looking at these findings of. There's a statement made in the and I guess on page twenty six of be the one to three. Third paragraph day on the very last line and it talks about the over placements in the continuation of those payments and how some people were over played out of others were underpaid okay kind of what concerned me was of the very last sentence in that paragraph is until corrected. Yes he'll quit doesn't say that it has been corrected it says in teal until corrected inaccurate claims will continue to be paid as if that statement implies. That it's on going inaccurate statements are still. Be IT applied or are being sent out so have a have a mis read that or could you kind of clear that up for me hopefully it's not continuing that statement was true in this report was issued in two thousand eighteen since then the agency has taken steps to correct that problem.
