JFC approves adding 20 new positions to manage CCAP

Listen to this article

Wisconsin is adding 20 new employees to manage the state’s CCAP services.

In a letter sent on Monday, Wisconsin’s Joint Committee on Finance approved a request to add 14.5 full-time, permanent positions and reallocate 5.5 full-time, permanent positions to cover the courts’ increasing digital workload.

The 20 positions will support mandatory e-filing throughout the court system; the installation and support of courtroom Digital Audio Recording systems; the maintenance of the court’s cybersecurity program; and technical support for court-operating systems and applications, including those necessary for remote and video access.

The new roles will save the state an estimated $290,552 a year by reallocating the 5.5 existing positions. It also eliminates the courts’ current use of 17 contractors to supplement CCAP. The $2.1 million spent on contractors is equivalent to the estimated cost of salary and benefits for the 20 new positions.
