PACHECO, CITY MANAGER TITLE A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING CAPITAL PROJECT NO. CP0920, LAW DEPARTMENT RENOVATION, AND AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF FUNDS THEREFORE ISSUE Should the amount of $45,000 be transferred for the renovation of the Law Department? RECOMMENDATION Approval of the Resolution. BACKGROUND Early in 2009, the City Council directed that a transition plan for the Department of Law be developed by City Administration. The recommendation to integrate the Department of Law into the City structure was approved by the Council during the City Manager's State of the City presentation. In the past, legal services were performed by the Law Office of Thomas E. Jagger, P.C., under a professional services contract. As a private law firm, Thomas E. Jagger, P.C. maintained its own office separate and apart from City offices. The transition of the Law Department to in -house will require that a new office be located and set up for use by the new department. The one -time cost of technological infrastructure (fiber optic), computer hardware, and office furniture is estimated to be $45,000. FINANCIAL IMPACT $45,000 is available in the Department of Planning and Community Development 2009 budget due to vacancy savings. Funds for this project will be transferred from those savings.
