Brief Description of Program or Service Enhancement:
Attorneys for Indigent Defense are currently being paid $700 per Unit and $100 per hour for Class A Cases. A request was made for the 2008 budget to increase the rates to $1000 per
unit and to $100 for Class A cases (2007 rates were $400 per unit and $65 per hour for Class A). In 2008 the rate was increased to $600 per unit and $75 per hour for Class A cases.
The request was renewed in 2017 resulting in a $100 increase for the unit costs to $700 per unit. We are renewing our request for an increase to unit cost to $1000 per unit, leaving
the the Class A rate at $100 per hour. Attached is a copy of the 2008 Budget Narrative explaining the request at that time. During the 2008 budget discussions, it was decided to increase
the rates slightly and reconsider the increase during future budget discussions. With only one slight increase in many years, it is timely to re-address current rates . Figures provided
are based on the caseload numbers from 2018.
