They would leave April 15, 2019 and return April 19, 2019. The office is still learning some of the features of Karpel and we will be undergoing the Spillman implementation shortly. Chad and Brandon have been the two working with Karpel. I feel it would be beneficial for our office to have them become further acquainted with the system and to be able to present any questions we may have. The Prosecutor's budget would be responsible for the cost. We anticipate the approximate cost, including registration fees, airfare, lodging, meals, mileage and parking to be approximately $4,100.00.
