Because of the complexities of this project and the many
increases in scope of work, it was felt that it was in the best
interest of the City to perform a detailed audit of Frank J.
Rooney's books.
In June 1983, this item was presented to the City Commission and
a contract was authorized between the City and E. P. Iaconis in
the amount of $45,000. It was anticipated at that time that this
amount would have been sufficient. However, because of delays by
Rooney, the complexity of the project requiring numerous
negotiations, it was necessary for the auditor to spend many more
hours than was originally estimated.
Because I felt it was necessary to keep this going, I authorized
Mr. Iaconis to proceed and recognized that I would have to ask
the Commission subsequently for ratification of this action.
Although I cannot give the Commission a final figure as to the
savings to the City as a result of Mr. Iaconis' work, I can
report that he will more than pay his fee.
