Subject: Allocation of funds to cover shortage in General Fund Legal Expense for FY 2012
Background Summary:
Expenses for general fund legal services exceeded the budgeted amount for fiscal year 2012. The expenses
were higher than anticipated due primarily to charges relating to a lawsuit resulting from failure to perform on a
bid award (Mercon) and secondly, charges for labor negotiations with the police labor union.
Issue:
Staff advised the city commission several months ago of the need to allocate funds from contingency to cover
the additional costs. A formal action by the commission is needed to move the funds now that we have a final
amount on the shortage for fiscal year 2012.
Recommendations
Staff recommends the city commission approve the transfer of funds from the Fiscal year 2012 contingency in
the amount of $33,000 to cover the shortage in general fund legal fees.

Financial Impact:

the fiscal year.
