budget for Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2015-2016 between the District and CDE (collectively

12

“Defendants”). Docket Nos. 2064, 2065. The fiscal year has concluded, and the Court has

13

reviewed the Monitor’s monthly timesheets to determine the actual expenditure of time

14

and services between District-related and State-related matters. Of the approximately 697

15

overall hours of work reflected in the Monitor’s timesheets, approximately 123 hours were

16

spent on “general” items,1 approximately 352 hours were spent on District-related items,2

17

and approximately 222 hours were spent on State-related items.3
Considering the actual time expended on each category of tasks, and remaining

18
19

consistent with the long-standing principle that CDE must share a portion (20% for FY

20

2015-2016) of the costs for District-related expenses, the reassessed allocation of the

21

Monitor’s budget is as follows:

The Court, after consulting with the Monitor, has determined that the best course of

2

action is to reduce the Defendants’ upcoming deposits for FY 2016-2017 in accordance

3

with the amount owed to each Defendant. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the

4

Defendants meet and confer with the Monitor via telephone to discuss the details of such
