A new fiscal year will commence on July 1, 2009. The Court hopes that Defendants

16 will be able to agree upon an equitable allocation for fiscal year 2009-2010 without 17 intervention from the Court, in light of the guidance provided by this Court's May 14, 2003 18 Order Re Initial Allocation, and their past successes in reaching agreement.1 In the event, 19 however, that informal resolution is not possible, the Court will make an equitable allocation. 20 To facilitate the allocation process in a timely manner, the Court sets forth the

21 following schedule: 22 1. By no later than Friday, April 17, 2009, Ravenswood and the Court Monitor

23 shall each submit their respective proposed budgets to the Court and the parties. 24 2. The Defendants shall, as soon as possible thereafter, meet and confer in good

25 faith to seek an agreement upon an equitable allocation for the fiscal year 2008-09. 26 27 This allocation will cover two budgets: (1) the RSIP implementation budget, and (2) 28 the Monitor's Office budget.
