NEW BUSINESS:
Dennis Wetzel said Property Appraiser gave the projection and Mr. Anderson wrote to the
Commissioners that the 09/10 budget will be approximately around $7,000,000 short.
John Hammond said last week State Attorney, Clerk of Court, Judges and the Sheriff’s Office went
over to Manatee County to look what they are doing there. He heard they were doing E-filing.
They got a mandate from the State Supreme Court to do that project. Two phases, each six
month duration. A year and a half later they are still on Phase I and they met their mandates to
the State Supreme Courts. They got approval to do Phase II. Our project that we’re doing with
State Attorney and Clerk of Courts now in some ways we are more advanced than they are as
far as the sharing the information in some other ways we are a little behind them.
Phil Brodeur said I think it was interesting. What I took away from it was when you talk to other
agencies their terminology is different. What they might have considered E-filing when in fact it is
not E-filing.
Broderick Underwood asked if the Supreme Court has established standards for electronic filing.
Phil Brodeur said the Phase I of process for the Supreme Court of Florida for E-filing you have to
do concurrent paper and electronic for a period of six months and then if there are no glitches or
problems they will revisit your application for E-filing and at that point let you go to Phase II.
Beckly Bleyman said they said it’s a six month pilot project but they are 1 ½ years into it. Is that
because their comparisons for the six month glitches?
Phil Brodeur said they weren’t led to believe it was anything more than the Supreme Court
Committee just has not gotten to them.
Steve Shaw said it is a committee that meets quarterly.
Phil Brodeur said Brian Butler, Legal Affairs, for our office did some on-line research on the
Supreme Court rules. In his research he found that he dad been able to successfully find any E-
filing approval by the Supreme Court for anything of a criminal nature it was all civil.
Tanya Green said the EDMS system that everyone is used to using with their dockets – we just
made that available to the private attorneys on the outside of the firewall on our website but
with public access only. There are no juvenile records out there and they can’t see confidential
records.
