2016 ANNUAL REPORT

,
,

Greetings:
This past year we have some seen some exciting changes within the Courts and the Probation Department. Work
continues on several programs that will enhance services to the public and staff continue to explore new ways to
improve access to information for the public and customers doing business with the court. Organizational changes
were made within the Probation Department and new judicial officers and staff have joined the Courts. This annual
report details many of the new and ongoing projects that are enhancing the services of the court and helping to
improve the services that are available to the citizens of Mohave County.
I am very excited to note that after much work by both judges and
staff the Board of Supervisors approved a contract for architectural
services for the Courthouse Expansion and Remodel Project with the
firm of Dick & Fritsche Design Group (DFDG). Funding for the
project will be coming from the quarter cent sales tax. The contract
with DFDG provides for the following work: Pre-design &
Investigations, Schematic Design, Design Development,
Construction Document Development, Construction Administration,
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment Design, Court Technology and
Audio Visual Design, and Cost Estimating. This is an important step
forward in the court’s efforts to build a new courthouse for the
Superior Court and re-model the existing building so the
Kingman/Cerbat Justice court can move into a new larger space.
Ultimately this new building will result in increased access for the
public, provide improved security and allow the court to better
manage the workload and provide greater services to individuals
within the community.
Another important change for the court was the reorganization of the Probation department into an Adult
Probation department and a Juvenile Court Services department. Alan Palomino was appointed as the new Chief of
the Adult division and Elaine Maestas was appointed as the Director of the Juvenile Court Services division. This
change has helped to create opportunities for advancement within the departments and will help to focus staff
development and strengthen the services being provided to the citizens within Mohave County.
We were pleased to again host the Court of Appeals when they conducted oral arguments at the Kingman High
School in April of this year. Their visit provided opportunities for local students and staff to view oral arguments, ask
questions of the Judges and visit with members of the judicial community. Many other positive programs continue
to be developed and expanded within the court so I encourage you to read through this report to learn of the many
efforts that are being done to improve court processes and procedures.
I express appreciation for the continued support of the Arizona Supreme Court, the County Board of Supervisors and
County Management in our efforts to accomplish the mission of the Court. I am grateful for the judicial officers and
court staff who work diligently each and every day to help keep the courts working in an efficient and productive
manner.

oute 66 starting in Santa Monica, California, enters Arizona near Needles, California via the
Trails Arch Bridge across the Topock Gorge, within the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge.
Between the state line and Kingman, the original alignment known as Oatman Road passes
through Oatman and the numerous hairpin turns in the Black Mountains. From the County Seat
of Kingman, the road serves the Mohave County communities of Valentine, Hackberry, and
Peach Springs. Route 66 then enters the northern portion of Yavapai County in Seligman.
Seligman is the birthplace of the first Route 66 association, established in 1987. This group
advocated for the segment between Kingman and Seligman to be designated as “Historic Route
66” and the State obliged. From Seligman the route continues into Coconino County through
Williams then into the County Seat of Flagstaff. While in Coconino County Route 66 passes
through Winona, a small unincorporated community made famous in the song “(Get Your Kicks
on) Route 66”. Then passing through Navajo County’s Seat of Holbrook. Finally Route 66 runs
through Apache County’s Chambers, Houck, and Lupton. The road continues through New
Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri before ending in Chicago, Illinois.

Regional Veterans Treatment Court
The Lake Havasu Veterans Treatment
Court partnered with the City of Kingman
to establish a Regional Veterans
Treatment Court, collaborating services
and processes together as a team.
Kingman opened their Veterans
Treatment Court in December of 2015
and currently have 10 veterans in the
program with one veteran scheduled to
graduate.

Participants in the Veterans Treatment
Court can expect to remain in the
program between 6-18 months
depending on their particular needs. Each
Veteran is assessed at the onset of the
program and their needs are prioritized
based on that assessment with the
participants being given access to such
resources including counseling, PTSD
treatment, employment, housing,
transportation, education and any other
needs that may arise. While participants
will often have their criminal charges
reduced or dismissed upon successful
completion of the Veterans Treatment
Court, the bigger goal is when the
Veteran graduates from the program that
they are in a much better place in their
lives than when they started. The
national recidivism rate for Veteran
Treatment Courts is 10%-25% compared
to the national Justice System recidivism
rate of 75%. The Lake Havasu Veterans
Treatment Court has a recidivism rate of
2%. In almost three years, only one of the
51 graduates has reoffended upon
completion of the program.

E-Payments
Mohave County Courts e-payment program
continues to be a successful project as over
4,000 people visit this page each month to pay
for traffic tickets or make monthly payments to
the courts.
Customer Surveys
Customer surveys are an important part of
customer service; therefore, the Courts in
Mohave County are continuing to use surveys
to ensure they understand the concerns of the
citizens and optimize their website to ensure
ease of access and functionality.

Self-Help Videos
Additional self-help videos have been created
to provide help to the public on specific court
related areas, such as Divorce with Children
and Divorce without Children. The videos show
Pro Per parties step-by-step how to fill out
court documents. These videos will assist the
public by reducing the need to redo paperwork
submitted to the court.

1st Annual Superhero 5K Run/Walk
& Kids Dash
On April 16, 2016 the Mohave County
Superior Court Team held the 1st Annual
Superhero 5K in collaboration with
Mohave County Court Appointed Special
Advocates and the CASA Council of
Mohave County. The event took place at
the Kingman Regional Medical Center
Hualapai Campus. One hundred sixtyseven community members including
children registered for the event, many of
them dressing up as superheroes. This
was the largest turnout for a first annual
race Kingman has ever seen. The
proceeds benefitted the foster children of
Mohave County through the CASA
Council of Mohave County. The monies
help the unexpected and unfunded needs
of foster children in Mohave County. We
look forward to continuing this tradition
for years to come.

Serving the Public

5th Annual Northwest Arizona
Infant and Toddler Mental Health
Symposium
The Mohave County Superior Court Team
hosted their 5th Annual Northwest
Arizona Infant and Toddler Mental Health
Symposium on April 26-27, 2016. Over
230 professionals from across Arizona
gathered at the London Bridge Resort in
Lake Havasu City for two instruction filled
days of networking and learning from one
another.
There were several notable keynote
presenters: Derek Clark, also known to
many on social media as “Rapping Dad”
and author of six books including I Will
Never Give Up: Robin Karr Morse, author
of the books Ghosts in the Nursery and
Scared Sick: and David Mandel, founder
and managing member of David Mandel
& Associates. In addition to the keynotes
there were 16 different workshops to
choose from with over 15 nationally and
state recognized presenters. The event
was free to all attendees and funded by
Arizona’s First Things First.

Strategic Pillar I

Family Law Assistance Program
In January 2016, the Family Law
Assistance Program (FLAP) was launched.
Assistance is provided on a case by case
basis to self-represented clients who may
not qualify for free legal aid. This is a
one-time service for self-represented
clients to meet with an attorney to help
with their case, such as modifying an
order or reviewing and completing court
forms. The program provides assistance
to low income residents of Mohave
County with certain Family Law issues.
This is a collaborative program made
possible through the efforts of the
Community Legal Services Volunteer
Lawyers Program, the Mohave County
Bar Association, and the Mohave County
Superior Court.

Delivery of Timely Justice
Strategic Pillar II

Fail to Comply Warrant Program
The Lake Havasu Consolidated Court
partnered with the Lake Havasu City
Police Department in an effort to put
together a program with goals to benefit
the public, the jail, and the court to save
time and money while maintaining
efficiency. The Warrant Program is
designed for individuals that have a
warrant for failing to comply with a court
order. The Warrant Program allows law
enforcement to bring the individual
directly to the court to be seen by a Judge
immediately instead of being arrested
and booked into the jail. The Program
was implemented in September 2015 and
has resulted in reduced jail population
and jail costs along with giving the
individual the opportunity to take care of
the matter without being incarcerated.
Collections Application
Local applications have been designed
and built for the Mohave County Limited
Courts to allow tracking of contract
payments as well as automated
notification processes notifying parties of
when upcoming payments are due.
Jury Pull
Mohave County has implemented a
process that automates the Jury
Summons and Seating charts for all
Limited Courts in Mohave County. The
process has streamlined a task that was
taking up to two days to complete down
to now just a few minutes of processing
time.

Remote Interpreter Programs
Remote Interpreter Programs are continuing
to be enhanced in the Mohave County Court
System. Further expansion of our
interpreter system focuses on providing
interpretation services to our customers at
the front counter. This is done by the
deployment of multiple IPads to the front
counters of our Limited and Superior Court
offices. This service allows the clerk to
connect into a video interpreter within a
matter of seconds for all unplanned
interpretation needs.

Swift, Accountable, Fair Enforcement
(SAFE)
Administrative Order 2013-02 implemented
the SAFE Program in the Probation
Department. The stated goal of Arizona’s
Project SAFE (Swift, Accountable, Fair
Enforcement) is to quickly and proportionally
address illegal behavior, primarily drug use,
so that clients will ultimately reduce their
criminal behavior and successfully complete
probation. Probation staff have all
been trained on the principles of
this program and are actively using
the techniques to help their clients.

Expanded Parent Education Services
During fiscal year 2016, the Mediation
Department increased access to its
parent education class by increasing the
number of High Conflict Classes offered
and, also, by continuing to offer the
mandated parent education class on line.
Mediation staff continue to review and
add additional content to the classes to
enhance the education experience for
those who attend the various classes.
During the fiscal year, 460 attendees
participated in person and 238 attendees
participated in the on-line program.

Delivery of Timely Justice

Case Flow Flowcharts
The flow of various case i.e., Family Law,
Civil, Probate, and Administration Case
Types have been outlined in flowcharts.
These flowcharts provide Pro Per parties
an outline of the steps they should expect
in the total process of a case.

Strategic Pillar II

Arizona Case Processing Time
Standards
With the recent adoption of the
provisional standards by the Arizona
Supreme Court for 19 case types in the
Justice, Municipal and Superior Courts,
court staff have been actively engaged in
the review, clean-up and processing of
pending court cases. The purpose of the
reporting of the Time Standards was to
measure the Courts’ success in meeting
the newly adopted time standards,
measure the Courts’ accountability and
to manage/monitor active pending cases.
Required reports, from Phase 2 of the
Time Standards reporting requirements,
were submitted on 7/31/16. These
reports were submitted on time and
encompassed the entire prior fiscal year,
July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
Ongoing review and monitoring by both
court staff and judicial officers has been
critical in helping to improve the
processing of cases and the effective
management of the courts work.

Strategic Pillar III

Court Access, Facilities and
Infrastructure

Probation Tablets
To continue moving forward with
advancing technology, Court IT replaced
22 aging desktop systems with 22 new
Microsoft Surface Tablets for the student
classroom. Along with these systems
additional secure wireless access points
were also installed to ensure adequate
coverage for the new portable devices.

Windows 10 Upgrade
As with many statewide initiatives Mohave
County was selected as the first Court to
upgrade all desktop PC’s to a new Operating
System. This upgrade was pushed out
remotely and was a huge success. Over 200
machines were upgraded within a period of 4
days with minimal impact to the user
community.

OnBase Administration Certification
Continuing education of staff is extremely
important to ensure staff has the most
advanced training available for the
systems we support. During FY16, two IT
staff members have been certified as
OnBase Administrators.

Replace Older Video Equipment
Mohave County recognizes the need to keep
technology current and refreshed. As a result
of this direction, several video systems as
well as audio systems have been pulled out
of service and replaced with new, more
advanced systems during the past fiscal year.

TurboCourt Online Forms
After tailoring the TurboCourt Forms
already in use in Maricopa County,
Mohave County adopted TurboCourt
Online Forms. TurboCourt walks Pro Per
parties through a series of questions and
depending on the answers given creates
the applicable forms to submit for a new
Family Court Case Initiation. This service
automatically repeats fields of data and
only requires a nominal fee to print the
forms. The service is available at
www.azturbocourt.gov

Upgraded Courtroom Audio System
Audio systems in selected Superior
Courtrooms were upgraded to allow for a
fully immersive audio system allowing all
parties in a hearing to speak and hear one
another clearly regardless if the party is
participating via a video feed or
teleconference.

Salary Survey
The Mohave County Courts understand
the importance of attracting, motivating
and retaining an efficient and
knowledgeable workforce. Superior
Court Human Resources completed a
Salary Survey for positions with the
Superior Court. The survey was provided
to court leadership to advocate for
equitable and adequate compensation
for court employees.

July 2015, the Honorable Douglas R. Camacho
was sworn into office as a Court Commissioner
for the Superior Court. Judge Camacho said
“Working for the courts makes me feel very
humble to be entrusted to make decisions that
affect people’s lives and makes me feel a great
sense of responsibility to render a just outcome
in the cases I am assigned“. Judge Camacho
was appointed to fill the vacancy from the
retirement of Superior Court Commissioner
Julie S. Roth.

Judge Singer was ceremonially sworn into office
as the Kingman City Magistrate on June 16,
2015; however, he officially took the bench on
June 29, 2015. Judge Singer said he is very
fortunate to have the magistrate position for
the Kingman Municipal Court, “It is a great job
and I love what I do and the people I get to
work with.” Judge Singer was appointed to fill
the vacancy left by the retirement of Judge
Kathy McCoy.

Court Access, Facilities and
Infrastructure

Leadership Training
To develop current and future court
leadership recommended court division
heads have staff attend the Arizona
Supreme Court Leadership Institute. The
Arizona Supreme Court Leadership
Institute provides three different
certifications: The Arizona Court
Supervisor program, is for frontline court
and probation supervisors; the Arizona
Court Management Program which is for
second level or senior supervisors; and
the Arizona Court Executive Program
which is for senior level managers. To
date, nine employees from the Mohave
County Court System have graduated
from one of the leadership programs.
Kyle Rimel (Court IT), Heather Muhle
(Clerks Office), and Kim Chappelear
(Mental Health Team) are currently
completing this training.

Strategic Pillar III

New Judicial Officers
The Mohave County Courts welcomed two new
Judicial Officers during Fiscal Year 2016.

Engaged Staff
Strategic Pillar IV

Probation Officers attend the
Arizona Court Leadership Programs
The probation department is preparing a
new generation of officers for leadership
positions within the organization. Four
officers from the Mohave County
Probation Department currently enrolled
in the Arizona Court Supervisor (ACS)
Program are Kyle Smith, Emily Snay,
Nancy Tharpe and Patty Zirkle.

Probation Department Restructure
Administrative Order 2016-14 went into effect
July 11, 2016 reorganizing the Mohave County
Probation Department into an Adult Probation
Department and a Juvenile Court Services
Department. Alan Palomino was appointed as
the Chief of the Adult Division and Elaine
Maestas was appointed as the Director of
Juvenile Court Services. This change allows for
independent policy development providing
efficiency by focused staff development,
strengthened coordination of service, and
delivery of services in the best economical
manner.

These classes are a combination of online courses as well as all day classroom
instruction. Some of the classes cover
Transitioning to Role of Supervisor,
Supervisory Ethics, Conflict Resolution,
Problem Solving and Decision Making,
Team Building, Employee Motivation,
and Change Management. Two more
officers, Amber Freed and Josh Frisby,
are continuing their studies at the
institute and have been accepted into
the second level, Arizona Court
Managers (ACM) Program. These
courses include: Purpose and
Responsibilities of Courts, Court
Performance Standards, Human
Resource Management, Budget and
Financial Management, Technology
Management, and Managing Diversity.
Employee Satisfaction Survey
The Mohave County Courts recognize the importance of an engaged workforce in promoting
public trust and confidence in the court system. In response to the 2015 Employee
Satisfaction Survey it was recommended that court leadership focus on communication,
employee feedback, appreciation and recognition. Court division heads were provided with
sample questions to ask employees along with articles with ideas to recognize and reenergize employees. Also, it was recommended division heads send birthday and
employment anniversary cards or e-cards to employees. An employee recommended the
courts hold a Court Picnic and the first Mohave County Court’s Picnic will be held in the
coming spring.

Community Collaboration and Outreach

Community Clean-up Program
The Kingman Area Meth Coalition adopted
a section of Stockton Hill Road between
Airway and Keno, agreeing it would be
maintained by the members of the
Coalition. The Kingman/Cerbat Justice Court
and the Kingman Area Meth Coalition saw
this as an opportunity to help out the youth
first time offenders by creating the
Community Clean-Up Program. This
Program gives the youth who has been
charged with Truancy, Minor Consumption
or Tobacco offense an opportunity to
complete court ordered Community
Restitution. It is difficult for youths to
complete Community Restitution with local
organizations since they are under 18 years
of age. This Program also gives the youth
exposure to positive interaction since they
work alongside of community leaders,
Judges, Law Enforcement, School Staff,
Court Staff, etc. The clean-ups are held once
a month on a Saturday. Adult offenders that
struggle with completing their community
restitution hours may be assigned to this
program as well. In July 2016 the Kingman
Area Meth Coalition and the
Kingman/Cerbat Justice Court were
recognized by the Kingman City Clean
Commission for their efforts.

Strategic Pillar V

Youth Court Services Program
The Lake Havasu Consolidated Court
established a Youth Court Services Program.
The goal is to improve resources to the youth
and their family. The Youth Court Program
(YCP) Team meets on a regular basis to share
information regarding each youth involved in
the program. Team members include the LHC
Police Department, local counseling agencies,
School Counselors, Principals and members of
Probation. The Program is based on a
progressive tier system. The YCP Team
collaborates and looks for the best resources
to facilitate success in the youth’s educational
programming and personal life. All youth
undergo assessments, counseling that is
appropriately recommended and community
restitution. Of the status offenses included,
Truancy accounts for 48% and Minor
Consumption is 38.4%. Since the inception,
the Youth Court Program has serviced 91
youth, with 76 currently in the program and
15 having successfully completed the program.
All cases are post adjudication. The Program
runs on average from 3 to 12 months,
depending upon the contribution and
commitment of the youth and their family.
Currently, the recidivism rate for the youth
who have graduated the program is 26.67%,
which is well within the recidivism standards of
Specialty Courts.

Community Collaboration and Outreach
Strategic Pillar V

Charity Contributions
The Superior Court Clerk’s Office chose
“HELP US KILL BREAST CANCER ONE
TARGET AT A TIME” as the theme for the
5th annual recognition of October being
Breast Cancer Awareness Month. During
the drive $479 was generated and
donated to the local Kingman Cancer
Care Unit.

For the first time ever the Justice Court
participated in the holiday food drive
sponsored by the Superior Court Clerk
and employees. A competition was
sparked and the Justice Court ended up
in the lead and was treated to pizza. The
food collected in Kingman was donated
to the Kingman Area Food Bank,
collections in Lake Havasu City were
donated to the Inter Agency Food Bank,
and collections from Bullhead City were
donated to the St. Vincent De Paul
Society Food Bank. In all, court
employees collected and donated 1,912
items of food.

Courthouse Centennial Time
Capsule
On September 18, 2015 a
Centennial time capsule compiled
by the Superior Court Clerk’s Office
was sealed in a sarcophagus built by
the County Facilities Department.
The time capsule to be opened in
the year 2115, was filled with items
donated by the Mohave County
Museum, multiple county high
schools, key public officials, county
employees, local businesses, and
members of the public.

Annual Tri-State Veterans Stand Down
Organized by the Jerry Ambrose Veterans Council (JAVC) the
2-day event assisted 384 Veterans in need all across Mohave
County. Veterans Court Judicial Officers, Honorable Jeffrey
Singer and Honorable Mitch Kalauli were present to provide
assistance when needed. Staff members from the Mohave
County Courts were available to answer questions, provide
resources, and update visitors on case statuses. This event
has grown rapidly in the past couple years, even surpassing
the Veterans Stand Down held in Maricopa County.
