CRANDALL, Judge,
concurring.
I concur in the result reached by the majority opinion of Grimm, J.
The County has not raised, and therefore we do not directly address, the overall obligation of the County to pay expenditures accruing in the circuit courts and the statutory method for resolution of disputes over funding of those expenditures. See § 476.-270, RSMo (1986) and § 60.540 to § 50.641, RSMo (1986). I write only to make it clear that § 452.423 does not create an open-ended obligation of the County to pay without regard to other statutory constraints or budgetary obligations.
