Lacer V. Navajo County

In this appeal we must decide whether Navajo County is entitled to an award of attorney's fees pursuant to Rule 21, Arizona Rules of Civil Appellate Procedure,*fn1 and A.R.S. § 12-341.01. Although the court normally disposes of such matters by unpublished orders, the issue presented is of such significance that we feel a published opinion is warranted. See Schweiger v. China Doll Restaurant, Inc., 138 Ariz. 183, 673 P.2d 927 (App.1983).
