Council Minutes of 2-15-77 -2- represent us in indigent cases. Presently we do it on a voluntary basis and the Court is trying to shy away Pram that because it puts too moth of a burden on attorneys when you have to handle that many cases and cb7 not get paid for it. Short of that, if the figure comes back too high then might suggest that we use our Regional Council of Governments and possibly find some swath+ad of hiring through a cooperative agreement with all of the western communities - perhaps one person on a part time basis.
