Burdickty regarding the need for additional temporary attorney staffing related to two <br />upcoming maternity leaves. Following is more specific budgeting information <br />and a proposed motion. <br /> <br />Assistant State's <br /> <br />Attorneys: <br /> <br />Mark R. Boening <br />Tracy J. Peters <br />Lori S. Mickelson <br />Lisa K. McEvers <br />Trent W Mahler <br />Aaron G. Birst <br />Earle R. Myers, Jr. <br />Leah J. Viste <br />Reid A.

Anticipated <br />savings: $20,000 (approx). <br /> <br />Additional Expenses <br /> <br />Following are two potential options for obtaining additional attorney <br />assistance. The difference between the two relates to use of a temporary <br />attorney, or a contract attorney. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Additional summer law clerk <br />Part-time Attorney (40% of child support attorney) <br />Temporary full-time attorney (5 months @ C44) <br /> <br />$ 5,800 <br />+10,000 <br />+17,000 <br />$32,800 <br /> <br />- or- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Additional summer law clerk <br />Part-time Attorney (40% of child support attorney) <br />Contract Attorney (5 months @ $100/hr) <br /> <br />$ 5,800 <br />+10,000 <br />+86,000 <br />$101,800 <br /> <br />Proposed Motion: <br /> <br />Amend the State's Attorneys 2004 budget to include an additional $5,800 <br />for an additional summer law clerk and $ 2IJ, 6lJI) for <br />additional salaries for temp.or. ary attorney~~ ~ont~act atto. ~¥fJ,sß O. r a <br />combination of both. arJ fftu( ~f të æ rcr eh t7rl q r Uß.(' <br />
