Claims include payments to individual victims and businesses for restitution, disbursement of surcharges and revenues and return of bonds posted to ensure court appearance. A complete listing of the claims dated January 1, 2013 through March 31, 2013 is attached to this memo and on file in the Municipal Court.

There are no reasonable alternatives.  These payments are required by state law or Judge's order.
