However, for 2007 and 2008, we have asked Scott Anderson to provide the <br />training in order to establish a baseline training level for all participants. They <br />included the training in their retainer fee. <br />Christopher K.

Specifically, could you give us the total amounts we paid our civil <br />and prosecuting attorneys for 2006, 2007 and 2008, broken down to show the amounts paid <br />under the retainer agreements, and additional fees and costs over the retainers. <br />I was also wondering what the $2,250 line item in the 2008 and 2009 proposed budget for <br />Ethics training is for. Does this include fees paid to Scott Anderson? If so, how much? <br />Thank you, <br />Amy <br />Amy J.
