Statewide Judicial Initiatives

Infrastructure: Facilities Initiatives

The Judicial Branch Five-Year Infrastructure Plan for Fiscal Year 2008-2009 comprises 175 construction projects slated for completion.

As responsibility for trial court facilities transfers from California's 58 counties to the state, consolidated oversight of buildings will allow the state, under the governance of the Judicial Council, to address the buildings' serious disrepair and to increase courthouse security, accessibility, and efficiency.

Computer-Aided Facilities Management (CAFM)
OCCM is in the process of implementing Computer-Aided Facilities Management (CAFM), a Web-based program that allows court personnel, AOC staff, and third-party contractors to access real-time data on building design, construction, operations, and maintenance. The courts' own facilities management staffs will be able to help plan annual repairs and renovations, report maintenance problems, and track project progress through CAFM.

A 2006 fire at the courthouse in Merced closed five offices and damaged three courtrooms.

Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP)

In its 2006-2012 strategic plan, the Judicial Council identified the need to focus on technological strategic goals that address the need for business continuity planning. In 2006, the Emergency Response and Security (ERS) unit of the AOC developed a Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP) program to help courts prepare for and recover from a disaster. Having a COOP program in place helps reduce the impact of a disaster or emergency on a court and improve that court's ability to recover and resume operations.
