RECOMMENDATION Approval of the ordinance. BACKGROUND The transition plan for the Law Department which began in October 2009 envisioned transitioning to an internal department of the City. At this time, it operates with two Assistant City Attorney positions under the City Attorney and multiple outside counsel by contract. With this proposed change, one of the outside contracts will be terminated and that contract attorney (Bob Jagger) will be brought in-house. FINANCIAL IMPACT None anticipated. The Law Department budget for the remainder of 2010 will be unaffected by this change and it is anticipated that the 2011 Law Department budget will be the same or less than the budget under the current structure.
