As written it causes the assigned counsel firm to have a <br /> carryover of unpaid work which becomes difficult to manage. The proposed amendment provides relief from <br /> this hardship and allows reconciliation to occur twice a year. This provides defense counsel with more up to <br /> date remuneration. <br /> RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): Authorize Mayor to execute Amendment No <br /> 1. to the Addendum of June 1, 2006 Agreement for Court-Appointed Legal Representation of Indigent <br /> Defendants. <br /> 40 <br />
