The ADOA Building System was established concurrent with those of the Arizona Board of Regents' and the Arizona Department of Transportation's Building Systems. Each of these building systems is responsible for computing building renewal needs for each fiscal year according to a renewal formula selected by the Joint Committee on Capital Review and for allocating building renewal monies appropriated to agencies within each of these three building systems. The ADOA Building System is the largest of the three and includes buildings owned by multiple agencies, whose structures appear in this annual inventory.

ADOA revises its building system inventory each year to include structure acquisitions and deletions as reported by building system agencies, escalations or de-escalations of structure replacement values, and two fiscal years of forecasted building renewal requirements for capital funding consideration. If available, the inventory also lists a structure's construction class, year of construction, fire suppression/sprinkler system status, occupancy category, and other allied information.

The building inventory is utilized by a variety of entities, including State Risk Management, the State Fire Marshal, the Governor's Office of Strategic Planning and Budgeting, and the Arizona State Legislature's Joint Legislative Budget Committee.

The Director of the Arizona Department of Administration provides an annual report to the Governor and the Legislature on the status of the state’s human resources and the operation of the state human resources system. The report includes information on the following:

Every September, the Arizona Department of Administration provides an Advisory Recommendation to the Governor and the Legislature. This document provides an analysis of the state's current compensation levels compared to other public and private sector employers, and a review of the critical factors that must be considered when reviewing compensation strategies. These factors include turnover rates, retirement projections, economic forecasts, and projected market movement. The report concludes with a recommendation to the salary plan for employees in state service.

The Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections remains committed to providing public safety, protecting victims and changing the delinquent behaviors of the juvenile offenders committed to them. The Department continues to strive to provide a safe and secure environment for staff and youth. Safety is essential to providing education, treatment and rehabilitation to the youth in our care; who will eventually return to our communities.

The Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections is responsible for juveniles adjudicated delinquent and committed by the juvenile courts. The department is accountable to the citizens of Arizona for the promotion of public safety through the management of the state's secure juvenile facilities and it provides services to juvenile offenders including rehabilitation, treatment and education. Arizona law requires that ADJC accomplish its mission by providing supervision, rehabilitation, treatment and education to the juveniles committed to its care.

The Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections New Commitment Profile is a study of the juveniles committed to Arizona’s juvenile corrections system throughout a Fiscal Year. This report, prepared by the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections Research and Development Section, presents statistical information about the demographic, commitment offenses, needs assessments, and other related details for the relevant juveniles. This report is a compilation of the collection and analysis of data from Arizona juvenile court commitment orders, ADJC’s juvenile database, YouthBase, as well as other files maintained by the Research and Development Section.

Assaults within correctional facilities can cause major problems. Assaults can disrupt the operation of correctional programming efforts and create an environment of fear and intimidation. They can result in serious injuries requiring transportation of staff or juveniles to a hospital. The purpose of this report is to 1) provide the Director and the committee with background data on assaults within ADJC, 2) provide the Director and the committee with an overview of requirements contained in the existing ADJC procedure(s) and information on how some ADJC staff report they are complying with those requirements, and 3) provide the Director and committee with background on three recommendations designed to address the assault dilemma within ADJC.
