Board updates CAMS onboarding, cross‑training and staffing as procurement deadlines near
Summary
CIO and administrative services staff told the board the CAMS migration remains on track for Q2, a seven‑week cross‑training rotation will begin next week, and procurement purchase orders face an upcoming deadline; recruitments to backfill two support positions are underway.
John Compwet, the board's chief information officer, told members the agency is continuing to onboard tax cases into CAMS and expects final onboarding by the second quarter of 2026. "We plan on completing the final onboarding by the second quarter of this year," Compwet said, and added that the IT branch plans infrastructure upgrades this month and is beginning early planning for systems that will reach end of life next year.
Rebecca Bach announced a cross‑training rotation: three judges from field offices (Inland, Pasadena and Sacramento) will spend seven weeks in appellate operations to learn appellate workflows; Bach said the program will help integrate field and appellate work and could support case-flow flexibility.
Rob Silva, chief of administrative services, reported recruitment activity to backfill two support staff separations in appellate and Sacramento offices and reminded members of procurement deadlines: purchase orders for equipment and larger supply requests must be submitted within a week, after which limited Cal‑Card purchases will be possible only for emergency items. He also reported that all impacted employees filed required annual statements of economic interest by the April 1 deadline.
Members asked whether staffing vacancies created by judges moving to superior court would be backfilled or left open during a lower-workload period; board members said they expect to use cross‑training and internal transfers where practical and to leave some positions unfilled as attrition to align with current workload levels.
