City Commission Agenda June 29, 1981
Jim, Reid
Acting Assistant
City Manager
It is recommended
that the City Commission authorize
the
City Manager to enter,
into an agreement
with the firm of Cramer and
Cramer to
provide legislative -
advisory services
in Washington, D.C.
On April 23, 1981, the City Commission enacted Resolution 81-326 authorizing
the City Manager to negotiate an agreement with the firm of Cramer and Cramer
to provide legislative advisory services in Washington, D.C. with a negotiated
agreerr,ent to be submitted to the City Commission prior to execution. William
Cramer, former (Republican) Congressman, represented the St. Petersburg -Clearwater
area from 1954 to 1970 and has remained very active in Washington representing
various Florida interests. Because of Mr. Cramer's experience and continued
involvement and representation of Florida's concerns in Washington, D.C., it
is felt that he would be an asset in facilitating the ccmrion interest of the
largest gover►-.ental entities in the Cade County area. The attached agreement
authorizes S2,000 per month for a period cf one year, plus lir-rited expenses.
City staff prepared a draft agreement and met with former Congressman Cramer
regarding the agreement. The proposed agreement is attached to this memo.
Basically, it provides that the firm of Cramer and Cramer would assist the
City in influencing Congressional legislation and snaking the best use of Federal
programs.
In addition to the base payment of S2,000 per month, the City will reimburse the
consultant for reasonable out of pocket disbursements in connection with out of
town travel, authorized by the City as well as necessary long distance telephone
calls and duplicating.
