RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve a Special Allocation ($64,325.74) for
payment of expenses incurred for general counsel work previously
approved at the October 6, 2004 City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the October 6, 2004 City Council meeting, expenses for Kronick,
Moskovitz, Tiedemann & Girard were approved for payment in the amount
of $111,930.69. A portion of those invoices represents work that is not
related to Environmental Abatement Program litigation, but for general advice, the handling of two liability cases,
and expenses relative to the Large Retail Initiative, thus, these costs are paid from the General Fund and not the
Water/Wastewater accounts. The City Council action approved the following amounts for the Kronick, Moskovitz,
Tiedemann & Girard invoices:
