Executive Progress Report

Service Performance and Productivity
  • Summary of current service performance
    The Compensation Board utilizes numerous performance measures and other tools to ensure that our service delivery is in accordance with our Mission Statement and Agency Vision as further delineated in the strategic plan. These performance measures and tools are aligned with the Agency Goals:

    • Goals #1 and #2 address the Compensation Board's primary responsibility to constitutional officers to provide the Commonwealth's share of funding for their total costs of operations. This responsibility is met through the prompt and accurate payment and reimbursement of constitutional officer monthly reimbursement requests. Since 1999 the Compensation Board has:

    • maintained a 100% payment and reimbursement accuracy rate for constitutional officer expenses and jail per diems, and

    • maintained a 100% timely payment and reimbursement rate for properly submitted requests from constitutional officers.

    • Goal #3 addresses the remainder of the Compensation Board's Mission to provide outstanding customer service support to constitutional officers through its products and services. Major customer service accomplishments include:

    • The annual customer survey sent to constitutional officers for FY08 reflects an Overall Satisfaction Rate of 92% with Compensation Board products and services.

    • Implementation of Career Development Programs for constitutional officers and staff.

    • Implementation of a comprehensive training program for constitutional officers and staff. Budget constraints have limited the amount of funding available for the Training Program and has limited the number of trainings offered.

    • Development of staffing standards for all constitutional officer groups, providing a consistent approach to developing budgets for constitutional officers and staff salaries (although the General Assembly has not yet approved full staffing standard funding for Local Court Services, Treasurers, Commissioners of the Revenue, Directors of Finance and Circuit Court Clerks). Budget constraints have limited the amount of funding available for the Career Development Programs and has limited the number of individuals eligible for the Career Development programs.
    • Goal #4 addresses the Compensation Board's commitment to ensuring the fiscal integrity of Commonwealth's resources. Specific accomplishments include:

    • Compliance with the Prompt Pay Act. The Compensation Board has had at least 99.9% compliance since FY98.

    • Compliance with statewide procurement/disbursement policies. No Department of Accounts (DOA), Division of Purchasing and Supply (DPS) or Auditor of Public Accounts (APA) non-compliance findings.

    • APA audits. No audit findings or management letter comments in the last five audits covering the years of 1998-2008.
  • Summary of current productivity
    The Compensation Board takes a proactive approach in support of it's mission in meeting the needs of constitutional officers and agency staff. With an employment level of only 24 and an FY10 appropriation of over $600M, the Compensation Board takes pride in it's accomplishments through creative and innovative means/staff in servicing the needs of 645 constitutional officers. Budget constraints have limited the amount of funding available for the Training Program and has limited the number of trainings offered.


    Measures of productivity for the Compensation Board include:

    • Implementation and maintenance of Career Development Programs for constitutional officers and staff. Existing programs have been implemented for Sheriffs, Deputy Sheriffs, Treasurers, Deputy Treasurers, Commissioners of the Revenue, Deputy Commissioners of the Revenue, Directors of Finance and Assistant Commonwealth Attorneys. The programs provide incentives which serve to promote a higher level of individual office performance by providing salary increases to those offices and employees who meet specific educational and office performance objectives. Due to the success of these programs the General Assembly has directed the Compensation Board, in cooperation with Clerks, to develop a similar program for Circuit Court Clerks and Deputy Clerks. Budget constraints have limited the amount of funding available for the Career Development Programs and has limited the number of individuals eligible for the Career Development programs.

    • Implementation and maintenance of a comprehensive training program for constitutional officers and staff. This program includes courses in: Basic LIDS (Local Inmate Data System), New Deputies and Office Administrators, COIN (Constitutional Officer Information Network), New Constitutional Officers, Lawful Employment for Law Enforcement and Lawful Employment Practices, and Managing Jail Risk. These courses provide constitutional officers and staff with information and tools necessary to more effectively manage their day-to-day operations and to develop an understanding of the Compensation Board's role and services offered/available. Budget constraints have limited the amount of funding available for the Traning Program and has limited the number of trainings offered.

    • Development of staffing standards for all constitutional officer groups. The implementation of staffing standards provides a consistent and streamlined approach to developing budgets for constitutional officers and staff salaries. The staffing standards have provided a more efficient process for everyone involved in budget development. As highlighted in the Priorities section of the strategic plan, the General Assembly has not approved full staffing standard funding for Local Court Services, Treasurers, Commissioners of the Revenue, Directors of Finance and Circuit Court Clerks. The Compensation Board will continue its efforts to seek funding for the constitutional officer groups.
Initiatives, Rankings and Customer Trends
  • Summary of Major Initiatives and Related Progress
    N/A
  • Summary of Virginia's Ranking
    N/A
  • Summary of Customer Trends and Coverage
    Recent budget cuts in the Commonwealth have taken their toll on the operations of constitutional officers. Each of our customer groups in one way or another bemoan the lack of sufficient resources (principally staff) to handle increasing workloads, be it court filings, inmates in jails or real property assessments. The percentage of the Commonwealth's share of the constitutional officer budgets has declined with the localities absorbing the difference. For instance, the Alexandria City Jail received 23.98 percent of operating revenue from the Commonwealth in FY00 and only 19.92 percent in FY04 (on an operating budget of $17.6 million). In FY05 the only budget reduction item that was restored were jail per diems. All other budget line items that were cut in FY03 such as salaries, office expenses and training remain at the reduced amounts.

    This reduction in the Commonwealth's share increasingly translates into a mind set of constitutional officers that the Compensation Board's fiduciary policies and procedures are a hindrance meant to conserve a diminishing pot of money, while simultaneously preventing the "real" work of the office from getting done. In large localities the revenue stream from the Compensation Board has become "just another source of funding." When viewed that way, the other services the agency offers (i.e., audits, automation, training and reporting to the General Assembly) seem much less important.

    Despite the frustrations and issues associated with funding limitations, customer satisfaction with the Compensation Board remains high. The Compensation Board is perhaps unique among state agencies in annually surveying its entire customer base regarding their satisfaction in dealing with Compensation Board staff. A measure of Overall Satisfaction is taken each year with the following recent results:

    • FY00 80%
    • FY01 92%
    • FY02 84%
    • FY03 92%
    • FY04 90%
    • FY05 82%
    • FY06 85%
    • FY07 94%
    • FY08 92%
Future Direction, Expectations, and Priorities
  • Summary of Future Direction and Expectations
    The Compensation Board sees no fundamental changes from our current customer base or service areas. In alignment with our mission statement, the Compensation Board will continue to provide outstanding support services to constitutional officers and will remain innovative and creative in our approach. If additional tasks, reporting requirements or support functions are requested and/or determined to be beneficial to constitutional officers, the Commonwealth or the Compensation Board, we will work with the respective organization, agency and General Assembly to change our mandate as appropriate. As with any responsibilities of the Compensation Board, we will conduct any new mandates with the same thoroughness, accuracy, timeliness and fiduciary responsibility that we invoke in today's activities.

    As noted in the "Customer Trends and Coverage" Section, the Compensation Board is concerned with the impact of the reduced share of Commonwealth funding on constitutional officers being able to handle their workload and on our ability to best serve them. With that in mind, our priorities include seeing restoration of budget cuts in each of our financial assistance service areas.

    The Compensation Board has also developed staffing standards for each constitutional officer group (in cooperation with the respective Constitutional Officer Association). To date, the General Assembly has funded such standards for Sheriffs/Law Enforcement, Local and Regional Jails and in 2005 approved funding for Commonwealth Attorneys over a three-year period (beginning in FY06). The Compensation Board will continue its efforts to seek full staffing standard funding for Local Court Services, Treasurers, Commissioners of the Revenue, Directors of Finance and Circuit Court Clerks.
  • Summary of Potential Impediments to Achievement
    It is time to step back and examine what the concept of ‘state support’ looks like in the twenty-first century. The Commonwealth of Virginia faces a challenge. The Governor, and ultimately the General Assembly, must determine what services provided by constitutional officers are valued, which of those services will be supported by the Commonwealth and how state support will be provided. The answer(s) to those questions will direct the Compensation Board in its continued transition from primarily serving as a funding source for constitutional officers to being the agency that constitutional officers go to for management, career development, staffing assistance and training.

    Without a restoration of the funds cut in FY03, constitutional officers face an increasing challenge in serving their constituents' needs with reduced staff. As Virginia's economy continues to grow we see more real estate transactions in clerk's offices, more real estate assessments that must be calculated in the commissioner's offices and unfortunately, more crime meaning more jail inmates. Requiring constitutional officers to do more with less places a burden on those officers and their staff that can be handled over a short time but not over the long haul.

    While the complex task of defining workload measures and assigning a time measure to each task is complete, the General Assembly has not approved full staffing standard funding for Local Court Services, Treasurers, Commissioners of the Revenue, Directors of Finance and Circuit Court Clerks.

Anticipated Changes To Agency Customer Base
The Compensation Board's customer base is set out in the Constitution of Virginia, Article VII § 4. There are three scenarios which would bring about a change to that base:
• Closing or consolidation of locally run jails (Sheriff) and an increase/decrease in the number of regional jails.
• Reversion of a city to a town, which eliminates the constitutional officers in the former city.
• Sharing of constitutional officers between localities.

As referenced in our Customer Base, regional jails reflect a potential increase of two. The Botetourt/Craig Regional Jail is scheduled to open in FY08 and the Western Virginia Regional Jail in FY09.

Products and Services
  • Description of the Agency's Products and/or Services:
    For each of the five constitutional officer programs and the regional jail sub-program, the Compensation Board provides core services that follow the same basic flow: 1) setting fair and reasonable budgets for constitutional officers based on the requested needs of the officers, staffing standards and the statutory requirements and appropriated funding set out in the Appropriations Act; 2) monthly reimbursement to localities of budgeted funds for the approved salaries and office expenses of constitutional officers; 3) consideration of appeals of approved constitutional officer budgets by the officer or the locality and attempted settlement of such appeals; 4) arbitration between constitutional officers and local governments for the settlement of disputes; 5) dissemination of policies and procedures and consultation and training to constitutional officers; 6) on-going provision of customer service assistance to constitutional officers for addressing systems and job related questions, issues and/or problems; and 7) coordination of training to all constitutional officers and regional jails related to systems, management and career development programs. In addition, recent years have seen widespread use of data gathered through the Local Inmate Data System within the criminal justice community.
  • Factors Impacting Agency Products and/or Services:
    The Compensation Board faces short-term uncertainty in its ability to provide constitutional officers with stable funding through its numerous programs. A comparison of total general fund reductions from fiscal year 01 to 03 to reductions to Compensation Board funding shows that while the general fund appropriations decreased by 2.18%, funding for Compensation Board programs was reduced 5.39%.
  • Anticipated Changes in Products or Services:
    With a stable customer base as noted in that section, the Compensation Board does not see substantive changes to our products, services or delivery mechanisms within the next few years.
Finance
  • Financial Overview:
    The primary source of funding for the Compensation Board is the general fund. The general fund provides 98% of the agency's funding stream. Nongeneral funds (Trust and Agency) provide the remaining 2% of funding for the Compensation Board. Nongeneral funds represent the Technology Trust Fund (TTF). The TTF is funded through fees charged by the Circuit Court Clerks for each instrument to be recorded in the deed books and upon each judgment to be docketed in the judgment lien docket book. The TTF funds are allocated by the Compensation Board for the purposes of 1) developing and updating individual land records automation plans, 2) implementing automation plans to modernize land records and providing secure remote access to land records, 3) obtaining and updating office automation and information technology equipment including software and conversion services, 4) preserving, maintaining and enhancing court records (including redaction of social security numbers from land records), and 5) improving public access to court records.

Information Technology
  • Narrative overview of the current state of IT in the agency:
    The Compensation Board has an Information Technology (IT) staff of 4.5 FTEs (4 full-time positions and 1 half-time position). This staff supports agency applications that are used to provide funding as set forth in the Appropriation Act to all constitutional officers and regional jail superintendents. Currently, the Compensation Board provides over $590 million in funding to localities. The IT staff is responsible for:
    1) Maintenance of the Constitutional Officers' Information Network (COIN) System which is used to support funding for constitutional officers, regional jail superintendents and their staff;
    2) Maintenance of the existing Local Inmate Data System (LIDS) which is used to provide per diem payments to localities for housing of state and local inmates held in local and regional jails. LIDS is also used heavily as a research tool by numerous agencies, providing information necessary to project inmate populations and crime trends;
    3) Maintenance of the LIDS/DNA tracking system used by law enforcement agencies to record DNA sampling information. All convicted felons must have a DNA sample taken prior to being released from custody (either local jail or DOC custody). Additionally, any individual arrested on a qualifying felony offense will also have a DNA sample take at arrest prior to release from custody. Implementation of this application has reduced the rate of unnecessarily taking duplicate DNA samples to under 7%, far exceeding the expectations of the Director of DCJS/Forensics Science Division;
    4) Maintenance of the LEAN (Law Enforcement Alert Network) used by Senior Law Enforcement personnel to communicate sensitive information quickly and in a secure environment. This application was developed as a result of the Sniper incident in 2003 at the request of the Secretary of Public Safety;
    5) Maintenance of the Compensation Board's Website, including developing and enhancing on-line training registrations and surveys;
    6) Maintenance of over 1,500 Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA) logons used to access Compensation Board applications running at VITA, and;
    7) Maintenance of databases used to support all Compensation Board applications.
    8) Maintenance of the LIDS-ICE Tracking Database. This application is used to track inquiries made to the Homeland Security's ICE Law Enforcement Command Center regarding the immigration status of inmates and to record the immigration status of said inmates.
  • Narrative description of the factors impacting agency IT:
    The Compensation Board's IT staff is diverse, and are equally comfortable with mainframe or web-based technologies. The IT staff is results-oriented and readily adapt to the needs of the business units within the Compensation Board. Factors impacting IT include - 1) lack of funding to adequately train staff on new software or changes with existing software. Some DB2/SQL classes are more than $2,000. 2) Heavy workloads do not allow for on-the-job-training or research and development. 3) IT staff having to augment other staff due to vacancies within the agency.
  • Describe any anticipated or desired changes to agency IT:
    The Compensation Board expects that at least two IT staff members will retire in the next 3-5 years.
