'i is I� is
I am writing about a supplemental budget for our office to retain the Appel-
late Attorney position on our staff. This position was funded through January of
1995. We have this attorney presently as a temporary employee. This position han-
dles all of our appeals and is vital to the felony side of our office. In this section of
our office we are presently working with four attorneys short of having the staffing
necessary to handle the case load. The loss of this position would be catastrophic to
us. It would require that I decrease our District Court staff and transfer a District
Court Deputy to Superior. Court. That would leave a case load of over 1,000 cases
that could not be handled in District Court.
During the budget negotiations this past year the funding was extended to
January, 1995, with continuation based on negotiations -with the City of Bellingham,
and the passage of .1 of 1% sales tax. The sales tax matter has been continued until
June, 1995, and the talks with Bellingham have been going slowly indeed.
At this point I have identified a funding source for the moneys. that I need for
this position and am asking to put a supplemental budget forward to provide for this.
This money will not be coming from current expense, but would come from
the Whatcom County Drug Fund. We have had some recent successes with this fund
and it will be more than adequate to meet this need.
Due to the emergent nature of this request I would ask this this go forward as
soon as possible. Thank you for your help in this matter.
Sincerely yours,
�
