(1) (a) The attorney general shall assign an assistant from his or her office to act as an advisor to the state engineer and to the various employees of the state who are subject to the administrative authority of the state engineer. The state engineer shall use the services of the assistant to whatever extent the performance of his or her duties can be facilitated by legal consultation.
(b) To whatever extent additional legal services are required, they must be procured at the request of the state engineer, but the cost of their services must be paid for out of funds budgeted to the state engineer for professional services, and in preparing budgets the state engineer shall anticipate his or her probable requirements for such additional assistants. All such assistants are selected by and serve at the pleasure of the attorney general and may include attorneys employed for special areas of the state or for the performance of specific duties on a fee rather than salary basis.
(2) The state engineer and the various division engineers may call on the assistant attorney general assigned to the state engineer, or any additional assistants who may be employed, to furnish services customarily furnished by lawyers.
