2001 Budget Analysis Trial Court Funding (0450)
$8 million for increased charges for county-provided services.
$4.6 million for infrastructure improvements in trial court facilities.
$4.2 million for implementation of the one-day/one-trial system.
$3.9 million for increased costs in the appointment of counsel for parents in juvenile dependency proceedings.
$3.7 million for court interpreter workload growth.
$3.6 million for appointed counsel and Court-Appointed Special Advocates for Children in dependency proceedings.
$3.5 million to establish a new trial court personnel system in accordance with the Trial Court Employment and Governance Act.
$3 million for court services for family and children.
$3 million for trial court administrative operating expenses and staff.

 
Next Steps in Trial Court Funding 
Chapter 850, Statutes of 1997 (AB 233, Escutia and Pringle)—the Lockyer-Isenberg Trial Court Funding Act of 1997—shifted
primary fiscal responsibility for support of the trial courts from the counties to the state. This measure resulted in a major new
financial responsibility for the state's General Fund and provided general purpose fiscal relief to counties by capping their future
financial obligations for court operations.
As the state has proceeded to implement this new funding structure, it has encountered a number of issues that will require
clarification in additional legislation or changes in budgeting practices. Below we discuss three issues that we believe the Legislature
and Governor should consider this year. These issues are court facilities, court-related fees, and court employee salaries.
Preliminary Task Force Report Targets Court Facilities 
Background. Chapter 850 established the Task Force on Court Facilities to identify the capital outlay needs of trial and appellate
court facilities. The legislation also directed the task force to provide options and recommendations for funding court facility
maintenance, improvements, and expansion. Finally, Chapter 850 directed the task force to recommend an appropriate assignment
of state and local funding responsibilities for these facilities as well as a transition plan for any changes.
The task force submitted an interim report on October 1, 1999. A second interim report is expected in the spring of 2001, and a
final report was originally due July 1, 2001.

Probate & Conservatorship

 Probate and Conservatorship
 

Probate

Probate is the court supervised process of identifying and gathering a person's assets after their death, paying all of their debts, and distributing the balance to the rightful heirs or beneficiaries. If an estate exceeds $100,000.00, and if the assets are in the name of the deceased person only, a probate will generally be required.

Probate Frequently Asked Questions

What if probate is not required?

There are many situations where an estate does not require probate, including estates under $100,000.00, estates in trust, and those cases where all of the estate passes to a surviving spouse. Even when probate is not required, however, some sort of legal process is often necessary. This is especially true when an estate owns an interest in real property. Legal counsel is recommended if you have any questions regarding estate matters.

Must I attend court to inherit deceased person's property?

Not always.
2001-02 Budget Analysis: Department of Information Technology
provide a copy of the PIER and the results of its PIER evaluation to the chairs of the budget committees in each house and the
Chair of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee. The results of the PIER evaluation shall describe the benefits that were achieved as
a result of the implemented project, any cost or schedule deviations that may have occurred during the development of the project,
and the annual costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the implemented system.
Enact Legislation Requiring the Administration to Provide PIER Information. When the Legislature considers legislation
to extend DOIT's sunset date, we recommend adding several provisions to improve the process for conducting
post-implementation evaluation reviews in future years. We suggest that language be included to:

Require the administration to provide copies of the PIER and DOIT's PIER approval letter to the fiscal committees of both
houses and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee.
Require DOIT to report annually on all completed IT projects, overall benefits and savings that were achieved, any cost or
schedule deviations that may have occurred, and the annual costs associated with maintenance and operation of the implemented
systems.

2001-02 Budget Analysis: Department of Information Technology
In addition, the Legislature should
direct DOIT and DOF, through supplemental report language, to develop and issue policies for use in determining when a
post-implementation evaluation review warrants preparation by an independent evaluator. The policies should specify (1) the size
and types of projects requiring an independent evaluation and (2) procedures for selecting and funding independent evaluators. The
following supplemental report language is consistent with this recommendation.
The Departments of Information Technology and Finance shall issue by January 1, 2002 policies for use by departments in
determining when a post-implementation evaluation review warrants preparation by an independent evaluator. The policies shall
specify (1) the types of projects requiring an independent evaluation and (2) procedures for selecting and funding independent
evaluators.
Require Administration to Report on PIER Reviews. During this year's budget hearings, the Legislature should require that the
departments report on all IT projects completed in the last year. (The Legislature has used this approach in past budget hearings for
other statewide issues of legislative concern such as implementation of the Dymally-Alatorre Bilingual Services Act of 1973 and
departmental compliance with statutory recycling requirements.) Departments should be able to identify what projects have been
completed, the benefits or cost savings that were achieved, any cost or schedule deviations that may have occurred, and the annual
costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the implemented system.
For the budget year, we recommend that the administration report to the Legislature on the results of PIER evaluations and reviews.
Accordingly, we recommend that the Legislature adopt the following budget bill language:
Within 30 days of receiving a Post-Implementation Evaluation Report (PIER), the Department of Information Technology shall
provide a copy of the PIER and the results of its PIER evaluation to the chairs of the budget committees in each house and the
Chair of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee. The results of the PIER evaluation shall describe the benefits that were achieved as
a result of the implemented project, any cost or schedule deviations that may have occurred during the development of the project,
and the annual costs associated with the maintenance and operation of the implemented system.
Enact Legislation Requiring the Administration to Provide PIER Information.
2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
Although Los Padres has NEPA documents that support road and trail maintenance, they require that archaeological surveys must be adequate before Level 2 maintenance can be done. Unfortunately many of the Forest Roads on the SLRD have not had adequate arch surveys. The current Heritage program staff is beyond capacity due to storm damage related work from last year. The result has been disasterous for the ML2 road system. Maintenance of ML 2 roads has been delayed for as long as 3 years due to the lack of archaeologic surveys, and even storm damage from last winter has not been repaired. Previously simple grading and drainage work will now require major reconstruction at a far higher cost. We had funding available for these projects for the past 2-3 years, but have been unable to execute them due to the lack of surveys. Fortunately the SLRD was recently been able to hire an aracheologist for the district. Please consider increasing the grant request for this item if possible. With respect to staff match, we willing to provide up to 500 hours of volunteer labor or other equivalent match for Los Padres. We are currently required to provide our own HMP, and this has limited the support we are able to provide. If we are able to utilize Los Padres HMP in the future this might change. Respectfully, Bruce Whitcher, CCTRA Bruce Whitcher - 4/25/2024

Comments on 2024 Los Padres NF OHV Planning Grant We generally support the Planning Grant application because it will address the improvement of a number of facilities around the Forest, including Turkey Flats, Navajo Flats, Ortega Trail, Gold Hill campground and Upper Oso Campground. The reasons for reviewing the existing OHV Level 1 and 2 Trail Maintenance CE document are not entirely clear, and we would like to have additional information about this. For example the proposal estimates the mileage of OHV Routes on the Los Padres to be 450 miles. The mileage of roads and trails varies depending on the source cited. For example the Los Padres G 24 Ground Ops application states that there are 335 miles of OHV trail and approximately 72 miles of road maintained on the Los Padres for a total of 407 miles. Upon reviewing the 2017 OHV Trail Maintenance CE, the mileage of the trail system is listed as 335 miles.
