RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Directors of both the Southeast Overtown Park West (SEOPVV) and
Omni Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAs) approve and adopt the attached Joint Resolution
authorizing the Executive Director to transfer FY '06 budgeted funds to the City Attomey's Office for the
purpose of providing legal services for FY '06 in an amount not to exceed $172,723.00.
JUSTIFICATION:
Beginning in FY '03, in order to reduce the use of outside Special Counsel Services, 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 of providing this type of City services. The proposed Joint Resolution addresses
this request by authorizing the Executive Director to transfer up to $172,723.00 (increase of approximately
6% over FY '05 to cover salary/bonus increases authorized by the City Attorney) to the Office of the City
Attorney for the services to be rendered as General Counsel for both the SEOPW and Omni CRAs. This
authorization will fund one full-time Assistant City Attorney and one full-time Litigation Assistant (salaries
and social security contributions) for the '06 Fiscal Year. Transfer of these funds is made bi-weekly with the
CRA retaining any unused funding.
