Tom said Lorien will present the quarterly financial report and that commissioners should have hard copies. Separately, staff described an item to establish budget authority for the district-court trustee fund (item J) in the amount of $28,564 to pay for IT work the court needs done. A county staff speaker said the court trustee fund has roughly $900,000 in fund balance and that the district court has exclusive control over that fund.

Staff characterized the budget authority request as an administrative step to allow the court to make the expense from its trustee fund balance.
