PDSC staff told the board the agency is operating at roughly 90% of budget, reported a February release of $81,940 to the Civil Legal Center and outstanding invoices to DPHSS and other partners that remain unpaid as of Feb. 25.
Agency staff told the Public Defender Service Corporation Board of Trustees on Feb. 25 that the agency is operating at roughly 90 percent of budget capacity and expects another allotment release this payroll week.
The Civil Law Center (CLC) received a February allotment of $81,940; staff reported total receipts for CLC since October 2024 of $397,739. Elder Justice Center (EJC) fiscal staff issued invoices to the Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) for November 2024 through January 2025 for $18,914 per month, and payments had not been received as of the Feb. 25 meeting. PDSC staff said they have requested from the Department of Administration (DOA) copies of payment voucher requests submitted to Bank of Guam to determine which programs have been paid; currently some vouchers are being received by mail.
Staff reported separate internal program balances: a balance of $14,254 pending a signed amendment from the governor's office or GCO FPO before a new disbursement can be issued; and a balance of $13,328 for the STOP program, which staff said will be used after other program funds are exhausted in March 2025. PDSC also issued a January invoice to WestCare for $910 for services and had not received payment as of the meeting.
Board members did not take formal action on these items at the Feb. 25 meeting but asked staff to continue follow-up with DOA and the governor's office to confirm payments and to circulate documentation when available.
