RE: Scrivener's Error -December 16, 2010 City Commission Meeting
Resolution No. 10-0555
File No. 10-01333
Please be advised that the Professional Services Agreement attached to Resolution No.
10-0555, adopted December 16, 2010, contains a scrivener's error in Section 3 of the Terms,
entitled "Option to Extend". The section states that "City Commission approval shall not be
required as long as the total extended term does not exceed four (4) years".
The section should read as follows: "City Commission approval shall be
required for each extension period."
The Professional Services Agreement has been modified to reflect this
correction.
