The interface between a government agency and an individual may, ipso facto, be problematic and
counterproductive. Help with conflict resolution may be needed. If a mutually respectful resolution does
not emerge after reasonable efforts from both sides, a third party, viz., the ombudsman is needed to
help redirect the interaction toward an equitable resolution. This is the role of an ombudsman, who is to
decisions will have on the welfare of the community at-large.
The financing of the ombudsman service is to be extracted from the agencies’ existing budget. It is
clear that some government agencies are more prone to utilize the services of an ombudsman. An
agency ombudsman utilization review should also be implemented. A proportional budget reduction
would be implemented in the next fiscal year.
This approach is less threatening. It keeps the disagreement out of the court system while allowing both
parties to maintain their dignity. Reducing the burden on the court system would result in significant
financial savings that would benefit the taxpayer. The ombudsman approach would provide a starting
point from which the California judicial system could initiate studies for other pilot programs in search of
solutions that would improve the proficiency and expediency of this extremely expensive judicial duty of
government.
It is the high cost of freedom that requires a nation/state to allocate its resources to meet the common
goals of society. It is the responsibility of the government to manage the financial burden of the judicial
process, and it is the individual’s responsibility not to abuse that process. The loss of freedom is too
high a price to pay.
It is clear that the judicial system in many California counties has a shortage of judges, which deprives
individuals of the basic right to justice. It is not appropriate that a citizen be placed on an over-crowded
court docket, come before an over-wrought judge, to receive “justice” sometime in the future. California
has a number of crises; one is the court system. The ombudsman effort, I propose, would be a step
toward some relief in this system.
