Documentation
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the attached Joint Resolution of both the Omni and Southeast Overtown/Park
West (SEOPW) Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAB) be approved and adopted authorizing
the Executive Director to transfer FY '05 budgeted funds to the City Attorney's Office for the purpose
of providing legal services for the current fiscal year in an amount not to exceed $165,000.
JUSTIFICATION:
Beginning in FY '03, in order to reduce outside special counsel fees, the CRA has made increased
use of the services of the City Attorney's Office. The City Commission has requested that City
Agencies share in the cost for providing this type of City services. The proposed Joint Resolution
addresses this request by authorizing the Executive Director to transfer up to $165,000 (unchanged
from FY '04) to the Office of the City Attorney for the services to be rendered as General Counsel.
This authorization will fund one full-time Assistant City Attorney and one Litigation Assistant (salaries
and social security contributions) for the '05 Fiscal Year. Transfer of these funds is made bi-weekly
with the CRA retaining any unused funding.
FUNDING SOURCE: $123,000 from General Operating Account No. 689004.550011.6.010
entitled, "Salaries -Unclassified"; $42,000 from General Operating
Account No. 689004.550011.6.001 entitled, "Salaries -Classified".
