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.
