Agenda Item II.: Fiscal Year 2017-18 Salary Budget A. Update on Previous DCABC Actions
i. First DCA Central Staff Director Pay Request – Supreme Court Conference
August 30, 2017 Judge Gerber provided an update on the First DCA Central Staff Director Pay Request stating the proposal submitted contained two alternatives. Option One was an across the board pay increase. Option Two consisted of an increase for the First DCA central staff only. Judge Gerber stated the supreme court met on August 30, 2017, and approved the second alternative, an increase to the central staff in the First DCA. PK Jameson noted that there was no discussion by the court regarding the issue, just an approval.
ii. Judicial Assistant CAD Issue – Being Analyzed by OSCA Staff
Beatriz Caballero reported that due to the current workload associated with the LBR pay plan issue, the Judicial Assistant CAD review had not been conducted yet. Ms. Caballero stated once the review is complete, the information will be forwarded to the DCABC. Marshal Haynes inquired if the review will be conducted prior to court conference in October. Ms. Caballero replied that she would hopefully have a recommendation soon. Judge Gerber noted that due to timing, an email vote would be preferred if DCABC action is required.
B. Update on Supplemental Appropriations
Judge Gerber stated this agenda item was related to the Salary Budget Committee (SBC) charge to determine if a rate distribution is possible. Eric Maclure advised that budget staff can view preliminary numbers and noted that staff will complete the analysis after affirmation of numbers and once the LBR is filed. Judge Northcutt noted the CAD issue would also need to be finalized for the SBC to make rate distribution recommendations.
C. Review and Confirm Budget and Pay Memo Recommendations Judge Gerber stated at the August 3, 2017, meeting the SBC presented their recommendations regarding the Budget and Pay Memo. The DCABC voted for Judge Gerber and Judge Roberts to meet with the chief justice to set up dialogue and communicate the DCABC concerns regarding the memo. Judge Gerber stated a meeting was scheduled for August 31st and subsequently cancelled. The DCABC received direction via a letter from the chief justice to proceed with setting forth recommendations for the Budget and Pay Memo. Marshal Haynes noted the meeting minutes reflect the marshals would be included in the
Page 4 of 40
District Court of Appeal Budget Commission September 5, 2017 Page 3 of 4
$1,000 pay increase, however, the Budget and Pay Memo does not reflect the pay increase. Judge Gerber stated the version of the memo presented in the materials addresses this issue in another section. With no objections, the recommended Budget and Pay Memo presented in the meeting materials was approved.
D. Senior Judge Pay Increase Proposal
Eric Maclure reviewed the senior judge pay increase issue, stating at their June meeting, the Trial Court Budget Commission (TCBC) voted to approve a pay increase for senior judges to $375 per day. Marshal Haynes inquired if the Supreme Court has approved the trial courts budget and pay memo and if the increase in pay would be retroactive. Judge Gerber confirmed that the trial courts memo has been approved. Beatriz Caballero noted it would not be an issue for the pay increase to be retroactive to July, if approved. Judge Gerber stated the chart presented for approval is an accurate representation of how the pay increase would impact each district court. The proposed increase to senior judge pay was approved with no objections, with the caveat that the budget and pay memo would be revised to reflect the approval and that the pay increase would be retroactive with a July 1st effective date.
E. Fourth DCA Floating Law Clerk Continuation Request
Eric Maclure presented the Fourth DCA issue. Judge Gerber stated it was the Fourth’s intention to convert this position to a third deputy marshal, however, due to anticipated lengthy absences, the Fourth needs to retain the floating law clerk. Judge Gerber stated the Fourth will review this position annually to best determine the need and will convert the position to its original intention once the need to retain a floating law clerk is no longer necessary. With no objections, Option One, to approve the Fourth DCA request to maintain the floating law clerk FTE and evaluate the workflow levels annually to determine whether to maintain or convert the position, was approved.
F. First DCA Reclassification Request
Beatriz Caballero presented the First DCA reclassification request. Judge Thomas stated that the First DCA has taken internal measures and thanked Marshal Crawford for his assistance. Judge Roberts noted the incumbents of the positions are long-term sworn law enforcement officers but have not been in sworn positions. The First DCA has recently become a law enforcement agency. Option One, approve the Fist DCA’s request to reclassify position numbers 11672, 11673, and 10674 from Court Security Officer I to the minimum of a Deputy Marshal-District Court classification, in accordance with Section A-7 of the November 22, 2016, Fiscal Year 2016-17 Budget and Pay Administration Memorandum was unanimously approved.

G. Third DCA Reclassification Request Beatriz Caballero presented the Third DCA reclassification request. Judge Rothenberg requested the action to be expedited if approved due to being down an officer. Ms. Caballero noted, if approved, the position would only need to be reclassified and this process can be accomplished quickly. Option One, approve the Third DCA’s request to reclassify position number 99006 from a Court Security Officer I to the minimum of a Deputy Marshal-District Court classification, in accordance with Section A-7 of the November 22, 2016, Fiscal Year 2016-17 Budget and Pay Administration Memorandum was unanimously approved.
Agenda Item III.: Update on Second DCA FY 2018-19 Legislative Budget Request Judge Gerber presented an update on the Second DCA LBR request, stating the additional $4 million requested for acquisition of land was the mid-range of comparable land sales. Judge Gerber reported that he and Judge Roberts held a conference call with the trial courts once the DCABC approved including the additional funds for the LBR issue. PK Jameson stated the chief justice and the courts were very supportive of the Second DCA LBR issue.
Agenda Item VI.: Other Business and Adjournment Other Business Judge Gerber reminded members of the following:
• September 14th – LBR press conference. • The first legislative committee week is scheduled for the week of September 11th. Judge
Gerber and Roberts will be in Tallahassee during the committee week. Judge Gerber stated he fully expects to engage the Second DCA judges with the legislature.
• Judge Gerber stated it is not necessary to schedule future meetings at this time; however, members should monitor for emails in the event issues arise requiring immediate action.
Adjournment With no other business before the commission, the meeting adjourned at 3:55 p.m.

Agenda Item III.B.1. Discussion of LBR Issues and Priorities – Second
District Court of Appeal New Courthouse Site Acquisition and Design
Background:
In FY 2017-18, the Supreme Court submitted a legislative budget request (LBR) for $8,196,359
in non-recurring general revenue for: 1) the Legislature to select a new consolidated courthouse
site; 2) the cost to acquire a site if not already state-owned; 3) the Department of Management
Services (DMS) to retain an architect to design a new courthouse on the selected site; and 4)
DMS to retain a contractor to estimate the costs of the new courthouse design.
The request was not funded. The detailed narrative submitted is attached (Attachment A).
The draft narrative for FY 2019-20 LBR submission is attached (Attachment B).

Agenda Item III.B.1. Attachment A
Second District Court of Appeal – New Courthouse Building
The Second District Court of Appeal (DCA) requests $8,196,359 in non-recurring for: 1) the
Legislature to select a new consolidated courthouse site; 2) the cost to acquire a site if not
already state-owned; 3) the Department of Management Services (DMS) to retain an architect to
design a new courthouse on the selected site; and 4) DMS to retain a contractor to estimate the
costs of the new courthouse design.
The Florida Legislature, in Specific Appropriation 3142A of the 2016 General Appropriations
Act, directed DMS to “contract for a study of the courthouse space and location needs of the
Second District Court of Appeal.” On December 22, 2016, DMS submitted to the Legislature
the “Second District Court of Appeal Space and Location Needs Study.”
The Study’s Executive Summary includes the following facts and recommendations:
Currently the Second DCA is the only appellate court in the state that has operations in two
locations, Lakeland and Tampa (p. 4).
The Second DCA has vacated the Lakeland courthouse due to health concerns presented by
the 55-year old courthouse’s degradation (p. 8).
It is estimated that the Lakeland courthouse needs at least $6.5 million in repairs, well above
the facility’s estimated value (p. 7). Even with such investment, a repaired facility does not
meet the Second DCA’s operations requirements (p. 7).
The Second DCA now operates in Lakeland in separate leased space (p. 8). However, space
exists for only three judges in the Lakeland leased space (p. 8). The Lakeland leased space
also includes space for only two central staff attorneys, various support staff, and the Clerk’s
and Marshal’s offices, but does not include a courtroom (p. 8).
The Second DCA continues to operate in Tampa in leased space controlled by Stetson
University’s College of Law (p. 8). However, the Second DCA currently does not have a
courtroom under its control (p. 5). All oral arguments take place in classroom space
controlled by Stetson University or in other locations (p. 5).
All Second DCA judges are provided with limited space in the Tampa leased space (p. 8).
However, some of the offices are less than ideal (p. 8). By necessity, several of the judges’
staff attorneys and the Second DCA’s central staff attorneys work in cubicles and shared
offices (p. 8).
Consolidation into one location would significantly improve the efficiency of the court by
streamlining operations, reducing duplicative costs, and improving productivity (pp. 4-5).
The best long-term option is to build a new state-owned courthouse (p. 6).
The DMS Study recommends that the parcel selection process for the new courthouse should
first explore state-owned land located in the Tampa Bay region (p. 6). Consideration should
also be given to land owned by other governmental jurisdictions (p. 6).
Based on the foregoing, the Second DCA respectfully requests $8,196,359 (non-recurring) in
Fiscal Year 2018-19 for:
(1) the Legislature to select a new consolidated courthouse site;
(2) the cost to acquire a site if not already state-owned;
Page 22 of 40
Agenda Item III.B.1. Attachment A
(3) DMS to retain an architect to design a new courthouse on the selected site; and
(4) DMS to retain a contractor to estimate the costs to construct that design on the selected site,
so the Second DCA can request those costs in future years.
Of the requested $8,196,359, $4,196,359 is estimated for pre-construction services. That amount
was derived by applying a 1.44 multiplier upon the actual costs of $2,914,138 incurred for pre-
construction services for the new courthouse currently under construction for the Fourth District
Court of Appeal in West Palm Beach. A 1.44 multiplier is being applied because the costs of
pre-construction services typically are based on the estimated square footage of the facility to be
constructed. The Study estimates the Second DCA’s ideal departmental space to be
approximately 59,000 square feet (Study at p. 40), which would be 1.44 times larger than the
Fourth DCA’s departmental space of approximately 41,000 square feet. Thus, applying a 1.44
multiplier upon the actual costs of $2,914,138 incurred for pre-construction services for the new
courthouse currently under construction for the Fourth DCA in West Palm Beach, would amount
to $4,196,359 estimated to be necessary for pre-construction services for a new courthouse for
the Second DCA. It should be noted that only limited pre-construction services can be
completed until the courthouse site has been selected. The building cannot be designed without
full and complete site information.
The remaining $4,000,000 requested is estimated for the cost to acquire land if the Legislature
selects a site which is not state-owned land (i.e., not free land) or land owned by another
governmental jurisdiction which may be available at a lower than market rate. In that event,
additional funds may be needed to complete the land acquisition. Also, if the Legislature
determines that, in addition to building a new consolidated courthouse, the Second DCA should
maintain a satellite location, then additional funds would be needed to construct offices or lease
space at that satellite location.
In the event that the above estimates for pre-construction services or land acquisition are higher
or lower than expected, any remaining appropriated funds would be used to compensate for the
other, or would be used towards building construction.

Agenda Item III.B.1. Attachment B
Second District Court of Appeal (2d DCA) – New Courthouse Building The 2d DCA requests $ as the first year appropriation for a new courthouse building requiring two years of appropriations. The Florida Legislature, in Specific Appropriation 3142A of the 2016 General Appropriations Act, directed DMS to “contract for a study of the courthouse space and location needs of the Second District Court of Appeal.” On December 22, 2016, DMS submitted to the Legislature the “Second District Court of Appeal Space and Location Needs Study.” The Study’s Executive Summary includes the following facts and recommendations: • The 2d DCA has vacated its Lakeland courthouse due to health concerns
presented by the 55-year old courthouse’s degradation (p. 8). • The 2d DCA now operates in Lakeland in separate leased space (p. 8). However,
space exists for only three judges in the Lakeland leased space (p. 8). The Lakeland leased space also includes space for only two central staff attorneys, various support staff, and the Clerk’s and Marshal’s offices, but does not include a courtroom (p. 8).
• The 2d DCA continues to operate in Tampa in leased space controlled by Stetson University’s College of Law (p. 8). However, the 2d DCA currently does not have a courtroom under its control (p. 5). All oral arguments take place in a classroom with a bench designed to host moot court and mock trial competitions (p. 5).
• All 2d DCA judges are provided with limited space in the Tampa leased space (p. 8). However, some of the offices are less than ideal (p. 8). By necessity, several of the judges’ staff attorneys and the 2d DCA’s central staff attorneys work in cubicles and shared offices (p. 8).
• Consolidation into one location would significantly improve the efficiency of the court by streamlining operations, reducing duplicative costs, and improving productivity (pp. 4-5).
• The best long-term option is to build a new state-owned courthouse (p. 6). • The parcel selection process should first explore state-owned land located in
identified submarkets in the Tampa Bay region (p. 6). Consideration should also be given to land owned by other governmental jurisdictions (p. 6).
• Should the acquisition of privately owned land be necessary, the potential purchase price could be as low as $5 per square foot to more than $150 per square foot (p. 7).
• The estimated square foot requirement to build a new state-owned courthouse is 73,149 square feet (pp. 6, 40).
Page 24 of 40
• In addition to land acquisition costs, the estimated design and construction costs are approximately $440 to $460 per square foot or $32.2 to $33.7 million (p. 6).
• This range of anticipated cost includes the cost differences between developing in a downtown submarket versus other submarkets in addition to specific site conditions (p. 6).
• The impact of secured parking – including surface versus structured parking – will also impact overall cost (p. 6).
• The estimated cost would also be impacted by the commencement date of construction as pricing changes over time, plus or minus 5% each year (p. 6).
• The estimated cost does not include furniture, fixtures, and equipment, which also would need to be purchased (p. 6).
Based on the Study, the 2d DCA, during the 2018 session, requested $8.2 million for only pre-construction costs, including the cost to acquire a site if not already state-owned, for DMS to retain an architect to design a new courthouse on the selected site, and for DMS to retain a contractor to estimate the costs to construct that design on the selected site, so the 2d DCA could request those construction costs in future years. The request stated that additional funds may have been needed to complete the land acquisition. The requested funds were not included within the 2018 General Appropriations Act. Due to the continued urgent need for a courthouse, the 2d DCA’s request for the 2019 session has increased to reflect not only pre-construction costs, but also a portion of the construction costs. Adding up the estimates in the Study’s Executive Summary (recited above) indicates the total project cost could exceed $40 million: Site/building acquisition $365,000 to $11.0 million (73,149 sq ft x $5-150/sq ft) Design/construction costs $32.2 to $33.7 million (73,149 sq ft x $440-460/sq ft) Furniture/fixtures/equip. (amount not estimated in Study) Therefore, the 2d DCA requests $ in FY 2019-20 (year one) for: 1) the Legislature to select a new courthouse site; 2) the cost to acquire a site or existing building if not already state-owned; 3) DMS to retain an architect to design a new courthouse for the selected site/bldg; 4) DMS to retain a contractor to estimate the costs of the courthouse design; and 5) construction, to be applied along with the FY 2020-21 (year two) appropriation. FY 2019-20 Legislative Budget Request: $ (non-recurring)

Agenda Item III.B.2. Judicial Suite Staffing Complements Issue: Chief Judge Brad Thomas has requested discussion by the District Court of Appeal Budget Commission (DCABC) regarding changing the present judicial suite staffing complement of two law clerks and one judicial assistant per judge to allow for the judicial assistant position to be classified as a hybrid law clerk/judicial assistant. Issues for Consideration:
• This is a two part issue involving both funding and staffing model changes that would require action by both the DCABC and the District Court of Appeal Performance and Accountability Commission (DCAP&A).

Agenda Item III.B.3. Judicial Suite Funding Model Issue: Chief Judge Brad Thomas has requested discussion by the District Court of Appeal Budget Commission (DCABC) regarding the concept of creating a Judicial Suite Funding Model under which all judicial suites have equal salary budgets. To help facilitate the discussion, attached is a spreadsheet detailing the present judicial suite cost and position complements for all five appellate courts. Issues for Consideration:
• Should the judicial suite funding model be established as a cap or range? • Would a judicial suite funding model cap or range be calculated based on rate or
salary dollars? • Would the judicial suite funding model cap or range include both judge and staff, or
solely staff? • How or should current years of service be a factor? • How or should current salaries be factored? For example, if a funding cap or range is
established, how do you address judicial suites that may presently exceed it? • How would the model maintain/balance equitable pay among judicial suites verses
experience? • Would the current staffing complement be maintained under the model? • How does a judicial suite funding model impact the Appellate Court Law Clerk Pay
Plan? • What requirements of the current Personnel Regulations may affect establishment and
operation of a funding model? • How will judicial suite funding rates be monitored? • How would the Central Staff employees factor into the judicial suite funding model? • Would legislative funding be sought, if the current budget is not sufficient to fund the
model? • How would a judicial suite funding model factor into future legislative budget
requests for new judgeships? • To what extent will the DCABC, chief judges, or the Supreme Court be involved in
decisions regarding allocation of funds among employees in a judicial suite?

Agenda Item III.B.4. Funding of Unfunded Deputy Marshal Positions Issue: There are presently 9.5 unfunded FTE remaining in reserve from the FY 2008-09 budget reductions. For the past two legislative sessions, questions have arisen about the continued need for these unfunded FTE and whether they can be eliminated. It has been expressed to the Legislature on both occasions that these positions are needed to fulfill critical security needs in the appellate courts. It is estimated that $891,951 in salary dollars would be needed to fully fund these FTE. Issues for Consideration:
• Should funding be sought through the Legislative Budget Request (LBR) process for full funding?
• Due to the critical need, can some or all of the FTE costs be absorbed within the existing salary budget?
