Lancaster noted that at the August 22 budget meeting the proposal was made to give the <br /> stipend to Ms. Carstensen and she thought it was satisfactory with Marty. <br /> w <br /> Mr. Klein said he could not tell the county boards how to spend taxpayers' dollars but he did not <br /> say that this was acceptable. There was one increase and then this would be a second rise. <br /> This would undermine his ability to manage his office. There are other people doing additional <br /> work in his office.
