Co lssloner ENCLOSURES:
I would like to bring up as a pocket item at the June 23, 1998, Commission meeting an
item regarding the Department of Off -Street Parking. The City Commission at a prior
Commission meeting authorized the City Attorney to prepare a Request for Proposal
(R.F.P.) for the purposes of hiring a law firm as bond counsel for the Department of Off -
Street Parking. It is my understanding that a law firm has been chosen by the City
Attorney and the Commission needs to approve the firm. Mr. Clark Cook, Executive
Director of the Department of Off -Street Parking has advised me that time is of tht
essence, and that for the benefit of the City, the Commission needs to approve the firm at
this meeting so that the Department of Off -Street Parking can obtain a more favorable
interest rate.
Thank you for your cooperation.
