Section 45-25-81 Judicial Administration Fund
Status: in_force

(a) This section shall be known and cited as the DeKalb County Preservation of Justice Act.

(b) The Legislature finds and declares the following:

(1) The financial restraints exiting in the State General Fund budget have resulted in a shortfall to the Unified Judicial System that has caused the layoff of many judicial employees. In DeKalb County, the circuit clerk’s office has lost three employees. Two employees in the circuit judge’s office and one in the district judge’s office scheduled for layoff have been temporarily retained with alternate funding other than funds appropriated to the Unified Judicial System; however, this alternate funding cannot be relied upon in the future. Revenue from the enactment of this section will restore at least one employee already lost in the circuit clerk’s office and permit the retention of at least one of the two employees now facing layoff in the circuit judge’s office and one employee now facing layoff in the district judge’s office.

(2) The DeKalb County Preservation of Justice Act addresses this problem by raising court costs.

(c) In addition to any court costs and fees authorized in the district and circuit courts of DeKalb County, there shall be assessed and collected an additional thirty dollars ($30) per case in all cases of whatever nature, to be collected as other court costs are collected. All of the funds collected under this subsection shall be transmitted to the Judicial Administration Fund to be maintained in the office of the DeKalb County Commission.

(d) The management of the Judicial Administration Fund is vested in the presiding circuit judge for the county and the presiding judge shall administer the fund and direct the expenditures therefrom.

(e) Funds available to the Judicial Administration Fund shall be expended to provide for staffing as the presiding circuit judge determines is needed in the judicial system of DeKalb County for the administration of the system in a timely and efficient manner.

(f) Upon request of the presiding circuit judge, the DeKalb County Commission may enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Administrative Office of Courts for the payment of funds from the Judicial Administration Fund to the Administrative Office of Courts for the purpose of providing the staffing needs of the judicial system of DeKalb County.

(g) If the Administrative Office of Courts fails or refuses to enter into or withdraws from a memorandum of understanding to receive funds from the Judicial Administration Fund, or if the presiding circuit judge determines that staffing needs should be otherwise provided, then proceeds of the Judicial Administration Fund shall be expended for the staffing needs as deemed appropriate by the presiding circuit judge.

(h) In the event that the Administrative Office of Courts resumes the funding of staffing positions in the judicial system of DeKalb County in a manner that the presiding circuit judge determines to be adequate for the timely and efficient administration of the system, then the presiding circuit judge shall certify same to the DeKalb County Commission. In the event the presiding circuit judge makes that certification, the court costs authorized by this section shall no longer be collected effective on the first day of the month immediately following the certification.

(i) In the event of the cessation of the collection of the court costs authorized by this section as provided in subsection (h), any surplus monies remaining in the Judicial Administration Fund that have not been obligated shall be deposited into the General Fund of DeKalb County and appropriated by the DeKalb County Commission.

The award of the arbitration panel shall be final and binding on the parties as to the amount of compensation for the diminished value.

(g) The cost of the impartial arbitrator, the stenographer, and the meeting site shall be equally divided between the wholesaler and the supplier. All other costs shall be paid by the party incurring them.

An employee, other than an appointed official, desiring to appeal any disciplinary action directed against him or her shall first exhaust any administrative remedy as provided by policy of the sheriff’s personnel system. Upon exhausting any administrative remedy, the employee shall then file his or her appeal in writing with the personnel officer within seven calendar days of the last final administrative action on the disciplinary action, and shall request a hearing before the personnel appeals board. Within seven calendar days after the receipt of the appeal, the personnel officer shall file with the chair of the board and mail to the employee by certified mail a statement specifying the charges against the employee on which the disciplinary action was based. Upon the filing of the charges, the chair shall call a meeting of the board to be held within 30 days after the filing of charges to hear the appeal, and shall forthwith give notice by certified mail to the employee and the board of the time and place of the meeting.

The fees and allowances in connection with the service of the subpoena issued at the request of the sheriff’s office upon request of the board shall constitute reasonable and necessary expenses of the board. Any subpoena issued at the request of the employee shall be served as provided above, but only after the employee has deposited sufficient security with the sheriff or other recognized officer as will guarantee payment of the fees and allowances for the service. Any person failing to obey any summons by either of the officers of the board without good cause, to be determined by the Circuit Court of Baldwin County, may be punished by the court in the same method and manner as is provided by law for contempt of the court, and any person failing to obey any order or subpoena of the court, may be proceeded against by the court as is by law provided in the case of contempt of court. In addition, any employee of the county who fails to obey any of the orders or subpoenas may be disciplined as provided in this subpart.

(c) At the hearing before the board, the employee and his or her department head or supervisor shall each have the right to be represented by counsel, with the sheriff’s office authorized to employ legal counsel to represent the interest of the sheriff’s office. The hearing shall be governed by rules of practice and procedure as shall be adopted by the board, and in conducting the hearing, the board shall not be bound by the technical rules of evidence. No informality of procedure in the conduct of the hearing shall invalidate any recommendation made by the board. At the conclusion of the hearing, and within five working days therefrom, the board shall recommend to the sheriff one of the following:

(1) That the disciplinary action taken against the employee be affirmed.

(2) That the disciplinary action be reversed and that the employee be reinstated with full back pay at the normal rate of pay that would have been in effect for the employee had he or she not been suspended without pay.

(3) That the disciplinary action be reduced and that the employee be reinstated either without or with pay for any time suspended without pay. The recommendation shall be in writing to the sheriff, and the sheriff shall act upon the recommendation within 10 working days of receipt of the recommendation and shall approve or disapprove of the action of the board, or may modify the recommendation if the modification is less stringent than the action of the board, with the action becoming a matter of public record.
