Deal-Supervisor StroLlgh, Barbara. and Marge:
We .write to follow-up relative to our recent meeting and the proposed stipend to Ms.Lewis as the COLIIVS "Compliance Officer.- As discussed. a court clerk's role relative to cases
involves, among other things. �;arious and significant reporting requirements to multiple agencies
and databases. These reporting requirements for each case generally appear to only increase and.
thankfully. Ms. Lewis currently acts as a "compliance officer"relative to the court Staff alld SLICK
reporting. However, we believe a more fOrillal recognition of that role is appropriate and. in that
regard. we propose that the Ms. Lewis be officially designated the Court Compliance Officer the
duties of'which are described as:
The COLirt Compliance Officer is responsible .for monitoring. overseeing, and
ensuring Court/Court Staff training and compliance with Office of Court
Adillinistration re(ILllations/protocols, annual clerk continuing education
requirements, as well as all processes and procedures relating to dispositional and
financial reporting inCILiding Criminal Disposition Reporting (CDR). DNA
database submission reporting, L justice, Justice Court Fund. New York State
Department of Criminal Justice Services. New York State Department of Motor
Vehicles. and Web-DVS.
Upon such a designation, a $5,000 stipend (as discussed on Friday) for the compliance officer
role would be appropriate. Thank VOL for your tinge and atten i011 111 this matter.
