Subject: Official Information Act request - Legal Fees

Dear Masterton District Council,

I wish to make an official Lgoima request for information on the total legal fees spent annually in each financial year by the council for the past 5 financial years. A single annual sum for each year is adequate, and appreciated.

Yours faithfully,

L. Poepping
