MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF REVISED BUDGET The Court Monitor herewith submits his revised budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007 for the Court's consideration and approval. By way of background, the undersigned would note that the Court Monitor's budget for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2007 was initially approved on June 15, 2006, and thereafter revised and approved on July 12, 2006. At the time, the parties were

discussing revisions to the methodology for the 2006-2007 Comprehensive Targeted Case Review and the methodology for reviewing Exit Plan Outcome Measures 3 & 15, which would necessarily increase the expenses incurred by the Court Monitor. However, a decision on that proposed methodology had not then been reached. The parties and Court Monitor have now agreed to the changes. The Court Monitor has therefore revised the current years' budget to reflect the projected increased costs for conducting the reviews as agreed to by the parties and previously ordered by the Court.
