Summer 2006
ACTION PLAN FOR
JUSTICE COURTS ANNOUNCED
Steps will be taken by the fall to improve
the operations of the state’s locally funded
and staffed town and village justice courts,
with particular focus on issues relating to fiscal
management. An action plan, announced
June 19, will be developed by OCA Administrative
Director Lawrence Marks and Chief of
Operations Ron Younkins with the assistance
of an advisory group of town and village
court justices and several OCA and justice
court officials. An audit of 32 justice courts,
released in May by the state comptroller’s
office, revealed money had been mishandled
in 11 of the 32 courts audited. While most
instances reflected poor record-keeping or
financial management, in one instance a
court clerk pleaded guilty in connection with
missing village funds.
